When dementia is the diagnosis, end of life discussions can be intense and heartbreaking. Hospice social workers Lisa Pahl and Jessica Empeno shed light on how to make things easier. Whether the dementia diagnosis is the primary (or terminal) diagnosis, or it is happening alongside another serious illness, the topics to be considered are complex. Everything from incontinence management to feeding tubes to ventilator support needs to be addressed. Talks about advance care planning should happen early and often, and include healthcare teams, family members, and anyone who might be involved in the caregiving group.

The Dementia Deck is one of the great tools out there to facilitate advance care plan conversations when there’s a dementia diagnosis in the mix. You can connect with Lisa Pahl (co-creator of The Dementia Deck) at thedeathdeck.com. Purchase your The Dementia Deck here. Check out The Death Deck here. Get a copy of The EOL Deck here.
