ADVANCED DIRECTIVES
It is the policy of New Mark Care Center to uphold each individuals right to complete an Advanced Directive, if they do not already have one in
place.
Advance Directives are optional documents that allow you to express your choices about your care in the future. You put your wishes in writing
while you are still able to make the decisions.
When an individual admits to New Mark Care Center, you are asked if you have an Advanced Directive or Living Will in place. If you do not, you
can contact Social Services and they will help you complete one. Social Services will also review with you on an annual basis, your right to make
treatment decisions for yourself. You will also have the opportunity to complete an Advanced Directive.
If you choose to put your wishes in writing and name a Power of Attorney for Healthcare, these records will be kept on file and in your medical chart
for reference.
New Mark Care Center is dedicated to being a leader in providing quality care, maintaining the highest level of independence and
providing peace of mind and security for those entrusted to our care. We are committed to providing highly qualified personnel, with
continuing education and close supervision. We are devoted to providing tender loving care, with dignity and respect to all, in a home-
like atmosphere centered around the holistic needs of each individual.
