1.The goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life of people with serious or life altering illnesses. It’s sometimes called supportive care. Palliative care is about improving overall wellness, including physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being. 2.• A living will is a legal document that specifies the type of medical care that an individual does or does not want in the event they are unable to communicate their wishes. An Advanced directive is a legal document (such as a living will) signed by a competent person to provide guidance for medical and health-care decisions (such as the termination of life support or organ donation) in the event the person becomes incompetent to make such decisions.
