NZ Dementia Foundation – Palliative Care Advanced dementia is a terminal condition for which palliative care is appropriate, however, knowing when to initiate this process can be challenging. Clinical indicators such as recurrent aspiration pneumonia, recurrent fevers, and eating difficulties accompanied by significant weight loss, can be useful for predicting life expectancy, although there is often variability.

Health Care Quality & Safety NZ – Advanced Care Planning We encourage you to write down what is important to you, what concerns you and what your care preferences are in an advance care plan. This will make it much easier for everyone to know what matters to you – especially if you can no longer speak for yourself.
