Background: Although Alzheimer disease and other dementias are life limiting, only a minority of these patients or their proxy decision makers participate in advance care planning. We describe end‐of‐life care preferences and acute care and hospice use in the last 6 months of life for persons enrolled in a comprehensive dementia care management program.
