end-of-life wishes

End-of-life wishes are a person’s preferences about how they want to be cared for if they become seriously ill or unable to communicate their choices. This includes decisions about medical treatments, life support, and comfort measures. Expressing these wishes in advance helps ensure your values and desires are respected, providing clarity for you and your loved ones during difficult times. Typically documented through advance directives or living wills, these preferences guide medical teams and family members to make decisions aligned with your wishes when you're unable to communicate.
