• Do you have more than one serious condition, like diabetes and heart disease?
• Have you been diagnosed with a serious illness that could run its course in one year or less?
• Have you been admitted to the ER/hospital several times within the last six months?
• Is it difficult to talk to your doctor and family about your personal preferences as you consider end-of-life care choices?

As a caregiver:

• How many hours a day or week do you spend taking care of your loved one?
• Do you feel overwhelmed or isolated?
• Are you getting enough help from friends and family members?
• Have you been ill recently?
• Are you experiencing sleep issues?
• Are you irritable or weepy?
