Clearing away clutter and improving lighting can significantly reduce the risk of falls. It&#8217;s also wise to lock away cleaning supplies. Regularly clean out the refrigerator and avoid storing uncooked food to prevent accidental consumption. For cooking, consider using induction cooktops that have overheating protection and pan detection features.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ae3537 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3ae3537\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Medical and Financial Decisions Should Families Make?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f1ce2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f1ce2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>While your loved one is still cognitively sound, agree on medical, care, and financial arrangements:<\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \uff1aAllows you to appoint one or more attorney(s) to take care of your financial matters even after you become mentally incapacitated<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthbureau.gov.hk\/en\/press_and_publications\/otherinfo\/241100_adlto\/index.html\"><b>Advance Medical Directives<\/b><\/a> <b>(AMD) <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\uff1aIndicates your wishes for refusing life-sustaining treatment (such as CPR) when you reach the specified medical condition (e.g., being terminally ill; being in a persistent vegetative state and state of irreversible coma; or being in other end-stage, irreversible, life-limiting condition).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Will<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\uff1aA document consisting of written instructions about the administration of an estate after a person&#8217;s death<\/span><\/li><\/ul><div><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although these topics can feel difficult to discuss, addressing them early ensures your loved one&#8217;s wishes are protected.
