End of Life Decisions and Concerns:
The Resident’s Perspective
Order # RP109

While elderly individuals express their preference for natural endings, they reveal their confusion about options. Afraid if they request to have no life-saving interventions, this means starvation, pain and isolation.

Avoiding discussions with health professionals or family members, they live their final years in unspoken fear.
