End-of-life care for elderly persons is guided by principles that prioritize comfort, dignity, and holistic support, recognizing that the final stage of life involves not only physical decline but also emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. Central to this approach is the principle of patient-centered care, which emphasizes respecting the preferences, values, and needs of the individual. This includes honoring advance directives, engaging in open and honest communication about prognosis and care options, and ensuring that decisions reflect the older person’s autonomy while balancing medical judgment. Another key principle is symptom management, which focuses on alleviating pain, discomfort, and distressing physical symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, or nausea, allowing the person to maintain as much quality of life as possible. Comfort and dignity are reinforced through emotional support, compassion, and the recognition of the person’s life history, social relationships, and personal beliefs. Ethical considerations
