What practical topics should we cover when talking about future wishes at home?
Useful topics include daily routines, comfort, symptom support, meals, sleep, visitors, appointments, and who should be contacted in an emergency. You may also want to discuss where the person prefers to rest, whether they feel safe at night, and what help they are comfortable accepting. Some families talk about home equipment, transport to appointments, and support with light housework and household chores so energy can be saved for more meaningful activities. The conversation does not need to be formal. What matters is building a clear picture of what helps the person feel comfortable, respected, and supported in everyday life.
