Abstract
- There are many challenges in providing palliative and end-of-life care to people with dementia; some of which may be reduced through advance care planning (ACP) to support the person with the diagnosis to have a greater influence on their care at end-of-life. Advance care planning has been defined as a process of discussing and recording wishes, values, and preferences for future care and treatment held between an individual, family members and their care provider(s) that takes effect when the person loses capacity. This paper considers some of the barriers and enablers to lead to better support of ACP in families affected by dementia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
