I Must Tell Them Now - A fact-finding workbook for Older People
The book has been prompted by the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (coming into force in 2007***) and which requires that the past history,attitudes and beliefs of a person should be taken into account if someone else has to make decisions for that person if that person cannot make the decision for himself or herself.
How many of us have ever written down comprehensively information about our past and our wishes for the future? How many of those who may have to obtain information about someone else would know where to start?
In its ninety plus pages this workbook prompts the user with a host of questions ranging from the details of their name, family and assets through to issues of their fears and phobias and their wishes for future care and not omitting such mundane details as what a person likes to drink and how they like to dress.
The book for:
- for all those approaching later life
- for social workers, solicitors, care workers and other professionals who may need to record information about the past life and future hopes of older people
