Consent to Treatment. The Resident hereby consents to routine nursing care provided by this Facility, as well as emergency care that may be required. However, you have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to refuse any treatment and the right to be informed of potential medical consequences should you refuse treatment. We will keep you informed about the routine nursing and emergency care we provide to you, and we will answer your questions about the care and services we provide you. If you are, or become, incapable of making your own medical decisions, we will follow the direction of a person with legal authority to make medical treatment decisions on your behalf, such as a guardian, conservator, next of kin, or a person designated in an Advance Health Care Directive or Power of Attorney for Health Care. Following admission, we encourage you to provide us with an Advance Health Care Directive specifying your wishes as to the care and services you want to receive in certain circumstances. However, you are not required to prepare one, or to provide us a copy of one, as a condition of admission to our Facility. If you already have an Advance Health Care Directive, it is important that you provide us with a copy so that we may inform our staff. If you do not know how to prepare an Advance Directive and wish to prepare one, we will help you find someone to assist you in doing so.
