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

While elderly individuals express their preference for natural endings, they also 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. Topics include: limiting treatment, DNR orders, medical power of attorney, and feeding tubes. Filmed at Alice Manor.
