A qualitative study regarding older people’s goals of care in relation to frailty status: finding meaning in ‘smaller things’ in life
Goals of care that older people want to attain are driven by life goals, independent of frailty. Therefore, older people with varying frailty status could be treated similarly in goal-setting and life goals. However, different support may be needed for the attainment and adaptation of their goals of care.
