At least in the US, in general we talk to the family about code status "Do you want your loved one to receive CPR if their heart stops?". We can make them DNR/DNI. Then next discussion would be hospice. They would have a hospital bed sent to their home, be discharged with a weekly nurse visit and doctor available by phone/text, and get minimal medications focused on minimizing suffering.
