Being an advocate isn\u2019t easy but we\u2019ll wrap up with some of the golden rules of being a good advocate for your loved one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be educated<\/strong> – make sure you know about your loved ones condition, their wishes as well as their legal and financial position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be present <\/strong> – attend visits and appointments with your loved one. If you can\u2019t be there in person then ask if you can be dialed in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be organized<\/strong> – keep lots of lists. Know what medications, allergies, diagnoses your loved one has. Make sure you plan ahead for doctor\u2019s visits or hospital stays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be tenacious but respectful<\/strong> – don\u2019t give up until you have the answers you need to make sure your loved one is getting the best possible care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask questions<\/strong> \u2013 never be afraid to ask questions or for clarification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
