Care Wishes are a values document: who would speak for the person, what care they would want if they could not say, and what matters most to them. They are written at caregoals.com with tap cards, a few minutes at a time, and they come into the family file here by one tap.
Kept on your own device: no account, and nothing is uploaded. Care Wishes are not a legal advance directive; the section below says what is.
The words stay the person’s own. Nothing here rewrites them, scores them or sends them anywhere.
Tap cards walk through the questions families most often leave unasked: who speaks for you, how much treatment you would want, and what you would never want. One question at a time, on your device.
From the CareGoals summary, one tap brings the wishes here as a new paper, beside the receipts, letters and cards. The page asks before it keeps anything, and it never replaces what is already there.
The family file reminds you once a year to read the wishes together and mark them reviewed. Wishes change; a page that was true three years ago may not be true now.
An advance directive or a medical power of attorney is a state form: each state sets its own wording and its own rules for witnesses or a notary. A MOST or POLST form is a medical order that a clinician signs with the patient. ComfortCard does not draft either one.
Care Wishes help with the conversation those forms need. Bring the wishes to your clinician or an elder-law attorney, and keep the signed form in the family file once you have it. For the end-of-life conversation itself, qualitydeath.com walks through it.
