People Planning Ahead: A Guide to Communicating Healthcare and End-of-Life Wishes by Leigh Ann Creaney Kingsbury is a new planning guide that helps families as well as professionals in developmental disability, geriatric care, and social work develop healthcare and end-of-life care plans in a way that is respectful and person centered. Published by the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD), People Planning Ahead is a 61-page step-by-step planning guide that comes with a CD-ROM with electronic forms from the book to record and store information on the individual. People Planning Ahead is based on the principles of Essential Lifestyle Planning, an approach that ensures that the person's wishes remain the chief focus, not their medical condition or other matters.
