The three main barriers that prevent many people from accessing appropriate high-quality care at the end of their lives include: •Inadequate Quality of Care - Inconsistency in care standards and inappropriate hospital admissions - Poor pain management •Identification and Planning - Poor recognition of dementia as a terminal illness and a cause of death - Lack of appropriate/timely diagnosis and care planning •Inequality of Access - Poor access to palliative care, hospice care and funding - Discrimination Those are the textbook answers. But in actual life I have found 1. Denial: by the patient or their family that the end is near. 2. Greed: by relatives who want the estate for themselves 3. Fear: that you are a bad child for going against their wishes.
