following:

To authorize the physicians, nurses, therapists, and other health care providers of his/her choice to
provide care for me, and to obligate my resources or my estate to pay reasonable compensation for
these services;
To approve or deny my admittance to health care institutions, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or
other facilities or programs. By signing this form I understand that I allow my representative to make
decisions about my mental health care except that generally speaking he or she cannot have me
