“I want my family to understand my wishes.”

Serious illness and ageing often bring difficult decisions and emotional conversations.

Many people want:
• their preferences to be heard
• their values to be respected
• their loved ones to feel prepared and supported
• care that aligns with what matters most to them

Supportive geriatric and palliative care includes creating space for honest, compassionate conversations — with patients and families together.

Because understanding someone’s wishes is an important part of caring well.

“I want to remain mentally sharp.”

Many older adults worry about changes in memory, attention, confidence, or thinking — sometimes silently.

Healthy ageing is not only about physical health.
Cognitive wellbeing, emotional health, sleep, social connection, movement, and meaningful daily activity all matter deeply.

Early recognition of cognitive changes, supportive care, and maintaining function and engagement can help people continue living with confidence and dignity.

Because preserving clarity, connection, and identity matters too.

“I want to stay in my own home.”

For many older adults and people living with serious illness, home represents:
• familiarity
• comfort
• routine
• identity
• family connection
• independence

Sometimes, with the right support, guidance, symptom management, rehabilitation, and family planning, people can continue to remain safely and comfortably at home for longer.

Good geriatric and supportive care is not only about treatment —
it is also about understanding where people feel most secure, supported, and themselves.

“I want comfort.”

Comfort is not a small outcome.

For many people living with frailty, chronic illness, cancer, or advanced disease, comfort may mean:
• relief from pain
• easier breathing
• better sleep
• reduced anxiety
• less fatigue
• emotional support
• feeling safe and heard

Palliative and supportive care focuses on improving quality of life through every stage of illness — alongside appropriate medical treatment and care.

Because comfort, dignity, and quality of life matter deeply.

Weight alone cannot detect sarcopenia.

Simple functional tests — grip strength, chair rise, walking speed — help identify early muscle decline.

Early detection allows intervention before frailty, falls, and loss of independence occur.

Prevention is most effective when it is measurable.
