10. End-of-life planning
Comfort care can be provided in a hospital, a long-term care home, a hospice or at home. The goal is to keep you as comfortable as possible, but not to focus on curing you. For example, you may receive medications to help with pain or breathing problems, but you may not receive treatments (such as a breathing tube or CPR or even antibiotics) that would keep you alive longer.
