If the person you care for has an Advance Care Directive, it can be stored in their Evaheld Vault and linked to a QR Emergency Access Card, allowing authorised healthcare professionals to quickly access legally recognised instructions.

This ensures care decisions remain aligned with their wishes and can be updated as circumstances change over time.
