The broadest sweeping legislation beneficial to the older adult is Medicare and Medicaid. The

with Disabilities Act deals with all Americans with disabilities, not just the older adult. The
Drug Benefit Program was added to Medicare, but deals only with medications.

he cannot speak for himself. The durable power of attorney is only one type of advance
directive. A “Do Not Resuscitate” document states that the patient wishes to die naturally with
no intervention. A living will prohibits the use of life-prolonging measures.
