No one is “too young” to have this conversation.
Prepare for future health and personal care discussions and decisions before you need to—with clarity, compassion, and support.

Virtual sessions across Ontario | In-person available in Hamilton, ON
“Thorough, thoughtful, and personal — handled with care and compassion.””
Life is unpredictable.
Your Wishes Don’t Have to Be.
Accidents happen. Illness strikes without warning. Surgery can lead to unexpected complications. At any age, you could face a moment when you can't speak for yourself, and your loved ones are left making decisions without clear guidance.
Advance Care Planning (ACP) ensures the people you trust know what matters most to you—so they can make decisions that honour your values and life goals, even in the hardest moments.
This is the foundation of person-centered care. Without ACP, medical decisions can be made based on best guesses, or standard protocols With ACP by Sorted Planning, decisions are guided by your voice.
It's about deciding how you want to live—even when life gets complicated.
Plans, not panic.

More Than Just A Document
“When we started, I had no idea what scenarios to consider. Now I have a sense of clarity and a document that perfectly captures my values and wishes.”
What’s included in your ACP experience:
Your Personalized ACP Summary Document (see example below). A clear, compassionate guide that captures your values, priorities, and wishes —written in your voice, ready to share. This becomes the reference point for anyone making health and personal care decisions on your behalf.
30-Day Check-In Call. A chance to review your document, ask questions, and make refinements after you’ve had time to reflect.
Annual Review Reminders. Because priorities evolve. You’ll receive reminders to revisit your plan as life changes.
Compassionate, Expert Guidance. Every step of the way, you’ll work with someone who understands different sides of the healthcare system — as a patient, family member and volunteer.

What Is An ACP Summary Document Anyway?
Most people have never seen an Advance Care Planning document — and that unfamiliarity can make it challenging to understand if this process is right for you.
Your ACP Summary Document is a clear, compassionate guide crafted through meaningful conversation — not a standard form. It's written in your own words, deeply rooted in your personal values, and designed to empower those who may one day make decisions on your behalf.
Check out the one-page preview, showing how your values and wishes are reflected in a personalized ACP Summary.
Your ACP Summary Document will expand on these sections and include guidance on medical decision-making scenarios (such as life-sustaining treatments), personal care preferences, and practical guidance for your substitute decision-maker(s).
“I really like the one-page document that accompanies the longer plan — it feels very shareable.”
Why I Do This Work
Hello!
I'm Jemima, the founder of Sorted Planning. I've been on different sides of the healthcare system: as a cancer patient in my late 30s, and as a daughter supporting a parent through serious illness, surgery, and time in ICU. I’ve also volunteered over 250 hours on a palliative care unit.
I know what it feels like to want clarity when everything is uncertain and I wish I’d had these conversations earlier.
While doctors can explain medical issues clearly and demonstrate empathy, many deeper, values-based questions are normally not addressed. I started Sorted Planning because I believe conversations about healthcare should feel empowering, not intimidating, and should be rooted in who you are and your life values.
