An LPA for your health and welfare authorises your attorneys to make decisions on your behalf in relation to your healthcare and wellbeing including, but not limited to:
Whether you should continue to live at home or move into a care home
Your day-to-day care and routine
Medical treatment that will continue your life, such as heart bypasses or cancer treatment
Unlike an LPA for property and financial affairs, this LPA can only be used once you have lost mental capacity.
