Tip of the Week - Legal Documents | |
If residents have legal paperwork, such as POA (Power of Attorney), a POLST (Portable Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment), letters of guardian or conservatorship, or an advanced directive and healthcare representative, be sure to ask for, and maintain copies of these documents in the resident's record.
What if a resident doesn't have these documents? If a resident does not already have these documents, you cannot require them to obtain these documents; however, you do need to have a conversation with the resident about their right to make health care decisions in Oregon. Be sure to document this conversation.
