Healthcare Decision Disputes

Intergenerational mediation for healthcare decision disputes

At Affinity Mediators, Mediators clarify the roles and responsibilities of family members in healthcare decision-making, including the elder’s right to designate a healthcare proxy or create advance directives. They ensure that all parties understand their roles and obligations and work together to uphold the elder’s best interests.

Mediation provides a valuable framework for navigating complex healthcare decisions and promoting positive outcomes for all involved.

Facilitating Family Discussions

Intergenerational mediation provides a structured and supportive environment for family members to discuss healthcare decisions openly. Mediators facilitate conversations that allow elders, their adult children, and other relevant family members to express their concerns, preferences, and values regarding healthcare.

Respecting Autonomy and Dignity

Mediators emphasize the importance of respecting the elder’s autonomy and dignity in healthcare decision-making. They ensure that the elder’s wishes and preferences regarding medical treatment, end-of-life care, and quality of life are central to the discussion.

Exploring Options

Mediators assist family members in exploring various options for healthcare decisions, considering factors such as medical advice, the elder’s health status, treatment outcomes, and personal beliefs.
