It is a terminal condition that many times goes undiagnosed leading to improper evidence-based interventions. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) should initiate goals of care conversations early with patients and their families in order to align treatment preferences. Early integration of palliative medicine is an important intervention that can lead to better manage symptoms and lessen the strain on loved ones. Additionally, early enrollment into hospice should be encouraged with loved ones to promote quality of life as defined by the patient.Pages 716-7249 page(s)application/pdfenIn Copyrightdementiapalliative care or medicinehospiceend of lifePALLIATIVE CAREEND-OF-LIFEOLDER-ADULTSSERIOUS ILLNESSADVANCED CANCERKIDNEY-DISEASEHEALTHPREFERENCESPEOPLESTAGEClinical ResearchAgingMind and BodyNeurosciencesAcquired Cognitive ImpairmentBehavioral and Social ScienceBrain DisordersPain Research7 Management of diseases and conditions7.2 End of life careNeurologicalHumansDementiaDeathPalliative CareTerminal CareHospice CareQuality of LifeHospicesArticle - Refereed2022-09-29https://doi.org/10.1177/10499091211046247396Kim, Kye [0000-0003-2543-5230]Whitehead, Phyllis [0000-0001-9530-1102]345192511938-2715
