Planning 3
- Talk about what to expectWhen you are ready, ask your care team what the later stages may involve and how comfort is kept.Why it matters: Understanding calmly, in your own time, often eases fear and helps you feel more in control.
- Record your wishes and place of careWith advance care planning, write down comfort and escalation preferences, who can speak for you, and where you would like to be cared for.Why it matters: Wishes that are written down and shared, including a preferred place of care, are far more likely to be understood and followed.
- Know who to callNote the after-hours palliative or MND contact, and keep medications, equipment and wishes in one easy-to-find place.Why it matters: Knowing who to call in advance makes a sudden change far less frightening.

End-of-life care is the care and support people receive in the later part of life, focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life rather than on changing the course of the disease. In MND, it is a natural continuation of the comfort-focused (palliative) care that can be part of life from much earlier.
It is worth being clear about what it is, and what it is not. End-of-life care is not about giving up, and its purpose is not to shorten life. Its whole purpose is to help someone live as comfortably and as fully as possible, on their own terms, for the time they have, and to support the people around them.
In practice it can include:
- Keeping symptoms comfortable, such as breathlessness, anxiety, pain, and saliva.
- Honouring the person's wishes about care and where it happens.
- Practical and emotional support for the person and the family.
- Support for family before, during, and after, including with grief.
Reading about this can feel daunting, and there is no pressure to. Many people, though, find that understanding it calmly, in their own time, takes away some of the fear of the unknown and helps them feel more in control. Talking with your palliative care team or MND service is a good way to learn what support is available and to shape it around what matters to you.
The other questions on this card look at what the final stage can be like, how comfort is kept, where care can happen, and how to make sure wishes are followed.

Statement 1 of 2. Palliative care in MND is not confined to the end of life and can be part of someone's care from much earlier.
Supports this. Palliative Care for ALS — Your ALS Guide · Practical guide
States that there is no waiting point for palliative care in ALS: it can start at any time after diagnosis, alongside the rest of someone's treatment.
“You can begin receiving palliative care any time after your ALS diagnosis.”

Goes further and treats early referral as the standard, because MND is complex and moves quickly, with the palliative team reviewing periodically rather than arriving at the end.
“Due to the complex and rapidly progressive nature of MND, referral to a specialist palliative care service should be initiated early in the course of the disease with subsequent periodic review.”

Statement 2 of 2. Understanding end-of-life care before it is needed can reduce fear and help someone feel more in control.
Supports this. End of life in MND — MND Australia · Practical guide · July 2021
Gives feeling more in control as the reason for opening these conversations early, while the person still has the communication and thinking to take part and before anything is urgent.
“Providing the opportunity for these difficult conversations early on, before the person with MND has problems with communication or cognition and before the need is urgent, will help them to feel more in control and more able to focus on getting on with living.”

This is one of the hardest things to ask about, and also one of the most reassuring to talk through. Many people carry a specific fear, often that the end will be frightening, or that they will choke or struggle for breath. No one can predict exactly how things will go, because every person's experience is different. But it helps to know what care is focused on, and what can be done.
A few things that are worth understanding:
- Comfort is the focus. In the later stages, care is centred on keeping the person settled and comfortable, and on easing any distressing symptoms quickly.
- Many people become quieter and more sleepy. As the body slows, it is common to rest more and gradually withdraw. For many people the final period is calmer than they had feared.
- Breathlessness can usually be eased. If breathing becomes uncomfortable, the team has effective ways to relieve the feeling, including positioning, moving air, breathing support, and medication. Anxiety, which can make breathlessness worse, can be eased at the same time.
- Fears about choking can be addressed. Saliva and swallowing changes are managed actively, and medication can reduce secretions and ease distress. Choking episodes do happen and are distressing at the time, but choking is very rarely the cause of death in MND, and teams plan ahead so that an episode can be managed quickly. It is worth asking your team what to do if an episode happens at home, and whether medication should be kept ready for it.
- You will not be left to cope alone. Palliative and MND teams are experienced in this, and care can be adjusted quickly if anything changes.
None of this is a promise about exactly how the end will be, and it is honest to say the details cannot be known in advance. What can be said is that comfort is the priority, and that a great deal can be done to support it.
If you or your family have specific fears, your palliative care team can talk through what to expect in your situation. Many people find that asking directly, rather than carrying an unspoken worry, brings real relief.

Statement 1 of 3. In the final stage people commonly grow sleepier and withdraw, and for many the period is calmer than they had feared.
Supports this. End of life: a guide for people with motor neurone disease — MND Association · Practical guide · March 2021
Describes the same sequence in its section on dying: weakening breathing muscles cause tiredness and increasing sleepiness, breathing becomes shallower over hours, days or weeks, and that usually reduces consciousness so death comes peacefully. Its key points say that in the majority of cases death with MND is peaceful and dignified.
Link checked August 2026
Adds context. End of life in MND — MND Australia · Practical guide · July 2021
Does not describe the sleepiness, but reproduces the EFNS guideline recommendation that clinicians should actively tell people and their families that a peaceful death is the likely one, which is the professional counterpart of this reassurance rather than evidence for it.
“The likelihood of a peaceful death process should be communicated to patients and their caregivers/relatives (GCPP).”

Statement 2 of 3. Anxiety can make breathlessness worse, and it can be treated alongside the breathlessness.
Supports this. NICE MND guideline — NICE · Clinical guideline
NICE's MND guideline treats anxiety-driven breathlessness as its own thing to prescribe for, which is why the two are handled together rather than separately.
“Consider benzodiazepines to manage breathlessness that is exacerbated by anxiety.”
1.13.5Link checked August 2026
Statement 3 of 3. Choking is very rarely the cause of death in MND, though choking episodes themselves can be distressing at the time, and teams plan ahead so that an episode can be managed quickly.
Supports this. End of life in MND — MND Australia · Practical guide · July 2021
Singles this fear out and tells clinicians to correct it directly, because choking is not how people with MND usually die. The same page tells prescribers to consider anticipatory prescribing for breathing, pain, saliva and anxiety, and describes a just-in-case box of medication kept at home, so it treats planning ahead for these episodes as standard rather than something teams do not expect.
“It is important to reassure patients and carers that death from choking is rare.”
Symptom management at end of lifeLink checked August 2026
Supports this. End of life: a guide for people with motor neurone disease — MND Association · Practical guide · March 2021
Says the same thing to the reader rather than the clinician. It accepts that mild or severe choking can be stressful at the time for the person and their carer, and separates that from being a direct cause of death, which it calls extremely rare. It also sets out the planning: a Just in Case Kit kept at home for breathlessness, coughing or choking, and advice on managing repeated episodes.

A great deal can be done to keep someone comfortable. Palliative and MND teams manage these symptoms routinely, and they plan ahead so that help is ready if something changes, including out of hours.
In general terms:
- Breathlessness. This is one of the most treatable symptoms. Positioning, a fan or moving air, breathing support, and medication can all ease the feeling of breathlessness, and anxiety that makes it worse can be calmed at the same time.
- Anxiety and distress. Feeling anxious is understandable, and it can be eased with reassurance, presence, and medication when helpful. Easing anxiety often eases breathlessness too.
- Pain. Not everyone has pain, but when it occurs it can be managed well, often with simple measures and medication adjusted to the person.
- Saliva and secretions. Medication can reduce saliva and thin or clear secretions, which keeps the mouth and throat more comfortable. The Saliva Management card covers this in more detail.
- Other symptoms, such as a dry mouth or restlessness, can also be eased.
A common worry is whether comfort medicines, such as those used for breathlessness or anxiety, might shorten life. Used carefully by an experienced team, in doses matched to the symptoms, the aim is to relieve distress and keep the person comfortable. This is a careful, individual clinical decision, and it is always reasonable to ask your team to explain how they use these medicines and why.
Importantly, comfort care is anticipatory. Teams often arrange medicines and a plan in advance, so that if a symptom appears, it can be treated quickly rather than waited on. Families are usually shown what to look for and who to call.
The guiding principle is simple: no one should be left uncomfortable. If a symptom is not well controlled, that is a reason to contact the team, who can adjust the plan. The next questions cover where this care can happen and who to call if you are worried.

Statement 1 of 2. Comfort medicines at the end of life are given by an experienced team at doses matched to the person's symptoms, with the aim of relieving distress.
Supports this. End of life in MND — MND Australia · Practical guide · July 2021
Reproduces the EFNS guideline recommendation for treating breathlessness and pain in MND. It describes the same practice, titrating the dose against the person's symptoms, and states plainly that used this way these medicines rarely if ever cause dangerous slowing of breathing.
“Titrating the dosages against the clinical symptoms will rarely if ever result in life-threatening respiratory depression (GCPP).”
Guidelines for end of life careLink checked August 2026
Adds context. NICE MND guideline — NICE · Clinical guideline
Names which medicines these are. NICE's MND guideline recommends opioids for breathlessness, so this is established guideline practice rather than something improvised at the bedside. It does not itself discuss dose matching or the effect on life expectancy.
“Consider opioids as an option to relieve symptoms of breathlessness.”

Statement 2 of 2. Teams arrange medicines and a plan in advance so a symptom can be treated as soon as it appears.
Supports this. NICE MND guideline — NICE · Clinical guideline
NICE's MND guideline asks teams to have anticipatory medicines already accessible as the end of life approaches, and names the ones this answer describes: opioids and benzodiazepines for breathlessness, and antimuscarinics for saliva and secretions.

Background the team read
#
For many people, end-of-life care can happen at home, and home is where a lot of people would prefer to be. Whether it is possible depends on the support that can be put in place, the care needs at the time, and what the family can manage, so it is worth talking through early rather than deciding in a hurry.
The common options are:
- At home, with support from community palliative care, nursing, and equipment. Teams can often visit, and some areas have services that can respond out of hours.
- In a hospice or specialist palliative care unit, which can offer expert symptom care and a calm setting, sometimes for a short stay and sometimes for end-of-life care.
- In hospital, which may be the right place if symptoms are complex or change quickly.
People sometimes move between these. A plan to be at home, for example, can include a backup if more support is needed, and choosing one does not lock you out of the others.
What helps a home plan work:
- Community palliative care or nursing involved early.
- Equipment and any medicines arranged in advance.
- Clear contacts, including who to call at night and weekends.
- Honest conversations about what the family can sustain, with respite and support built in.
What is available, and how it is funded, varies by location, so the practical routes are best found through your palliative care team, MND service, or a social worker. There is no single right answer here. The aim is a setting where the person is comfortable, their wishes are followed, and the people around them are supported.

The sources the Compass team used to write this answer. Highlighted phrases in the answer above correspond to the statements below.
Statement 1 of 2. For many people, end-of-life care can be delivered at home.
Supports this. End of life in MND — MND Australia · Practical guide · July 2021
Treats dying at home as a plan that services are expected to support rather than an exception, and describes stepping up home support as the end of life approaches so it can happen.
“Support services in the home may be need to be increased as end of life approaches, particularly if the person with MND has expressed a wish to die at home.”
Symptom management at end of lifeLink checked August 2026
Adds context. Care Facilities for People with ALS — Your ALS Guide · Practical guide
Adds where care actually happens rather than where it can happen: home is the usual setting for ALS care, with families doing most of it. Written for the United States, so its account of paid alternatives and how they are funded does not transfer.
“Most people with ALS are cared for in their homes by loved ones.”
Care Facilities for ALSLink checked August 2026
Statement 2 of 2. Planning to be cared for at home does not rule out moving to a hospice, hospital or care facility later if more support is needed.
Supports this. End of life in MND — MND Australia · Practical guide · July 2021
Says outright that home care can stop being manageable for some people and that a move to a hospice, palliative care facility, hospital or aged care facility may then need to be arranged, so a change of setting is an expected possibility rather than a failure of the plan.
“For some people maintaining care at home may become too difficult and admission to a hospice or palliative care facility, hospital or a residential aged care facility may need to be organised.”

It helps to know in advance who to call if something changes suddenly or you are simply worried, so you are not searching for numbers in a stressful moment. Setting this up early is one of the most practical things you can do.
Have these ready, in one easy-to-find place:
- Your palliative care or MND team, including any after-hours or 24-hour line they offer. Many areas have a number you can call at night and weekends.
- Your GP and the local out-of-hours service.
- A short list of the person's medications, equipment, and care wishes, so anyone helping has the key facts. This overlaps with the emergency information in the Get Set Up card.
If breathing suddenly becomes difficult or there is a choking episode, stay as calm as you can, use any plan your team has given you (for example positioning, suction, cough assist, or medication that has been prescribed for this), and call the contact your team has advised. If you do not have a plan, if you cannot reach anyone, or if the person is in immediate danger, call your local emergency services or go to an emergency department rather than waiting to reach your MND team. A sudden change in breathing can also have a cause other than ALS/MND, such as a chest infection or a clot on the lung, and that needs treating quickly. Teams often prepare families for these moments in advance, which makes them far less frightening.
A note about emergency services and wishes. What an ambulance crew is able to do differs by country and by service, and so does the paperwork that counts. In many places a general note of someone's wishes is not enough on its own, so it is worth asking your palliative care or MND team which form is recognised where you live, where it should be kept, and who to call instead of an ambulance if that is the plan. This is one reason advance care planning matters: wishes recorded on the right form, and kept where they can be found quickly, give care in a crisis the best chance of matching what the person wanted. The Advance Care Planning card covers how to record and share this.
If you are ever unsure whether something is an emergency, call your palliative care or MND team, or the after-hours number they have given you, and ask. If you cannot reach them and you are worried it is an emergency, call your local emergency services. The teams expect these calls, and checking is never a bother.

Puts this among the things that must be in place for a person with MND approaching the end of life, and is explicit that the number has to cover nights and weekends, not only office hours.

These three things are closely related and often confused, so it helps to see how they fit.
- Palliative care is comfort-focused care that supports quality of life. It is not only for the end of life. It can be part of care from early on, alongside everything else, helping with symptoms, wellbeing, and decisions. The Palliative Care card covers it.
- Advance care planning is the process of thinking about and recording your wishes for future care, in case there is a time when you cannot say them yourself. It can include who should speak for you and what treatments you would or would not want. The Advance Care Planning card covers it.
- End-of-life care is the care in the final stage of life, focused on comfort, dignity, and support for the person and family. It is what this card is about.
A simple way to hold it together: palliative care supports comfort and quality of life across the journey; advance care planning records what you want so it can be followed; and end-of-life care is the comfort-focused care at the very end, shaped by those wishes.
They work best together and early. Palliative care involved sooner means symptoms and wellbeing are supported for longer. Advance care planning done while it is unhurried means wishes are clearer and easier to follow. And both make end-of-life care, when it comes, calmer and more genuinely the person's own.
You do not have to engage with all of this at once, or before you are ready. But knowing how the pieces connect can make each conversation feel less overwhelming.

“Introducing the concept of a palliative approach to care early on may help people to better understand the difference between palliative care and end of life care.”

Family members and close friends carry a lot at this time, and they deserve support too, not only the person with MND.
A few things that help families to know:
- Grief can start before death. Many people grieve gradually as MND progresses, not only afterwards. This is normal and has a name, anticipatory grief. It does not mean giving up hope; it sits alongside love and care.
- Being present matters more than doing. Towards the end, simply being there, holding a hand, talking, or sitting quietly, is valuable. Hearing is often thought to be one of the last senses to fade. No one can know for certain what someone takes in, so gentle words and familiar voices are still worth offering.
- Practical support is available. Palliative and MND teams guide families on what to expect, what to do, and who to call, so no one has to work it out alone.
- Looking after yourself still counts. Rest, food, and support for carers remain important right through. The Caregiver Wellbeing card covers this.
For grief and bereavement support:
- Palliative care and hospice services often provide bereavement support for families, sometimes for a long time afterwards.
- Your MND association may offer bereavement resources or groups.
- Counselling and peer support can help, both before and after. The Mental Health Support and Peer Support cards point to these.
There is no single right way to grieve, and no timetable for it. Whatever you feel is allowed. Reaching out for support, when you are ready, is a kindness to yourself, and help is there for as long as you need it.

Supports this. End of life in MND — MND Australia · Practical guide · July 2021
Treats preparing the family as part of the clinical job and gives the reasons: an unprepared family faces the shock of a death that feels sudden, which carries a risk of harder bereavement, and may call an ambulance not knowing what else to do. Elsewhere on the same page it calls an out-of-hours number and instructions for an emergency essential.
“Preparing the family and providing additional support may help prevent the shock of an 'unexpected' death (with the risk of more severe bereavement) or the family inadvertently ringing an ambulance after the patient has died at home.”
Symptom management at end of lifeLink checked August 2026
Adds context. NICE MND guideline — NICE · Clinical guideline
NICE's MND guideline asks for more support as the end of life nears, but the support it describes is practical rather than informational: extra social or nursing care so that family can hand over some of the caring and spend the time with the person instead.
“Provide additional support as the end of life approaches, for example, additional social or nursing care to enable informal carers and family to reduce their carer responsibilities and spend time with the person with MND.”

The best way to make sure someone's wishes are followed is to talk about them and write them down, ahead of time, and make sure the right people have them. Wishes that exist only in someone's head are hard for others to honour, especially in a crisis.
What helps:
- Have the conversations early and gently. Talk with your care team and family about what matters to you: where you would like to be cared for, what comfort care you would want, and which treatments you would or would not want. Doing this calmly, before any crisis, makes wishes clearer and more genuinely your own.
- Write it down. Advance care planning lets you record your wishes, and in many places you can name a person to speak for you if you cannot. The exact forms and legal terms vary by location. The Advance Care Planning card covers how to do this.
- Make sure it can be found. A plan only helps if people can find it. Keep it somewhere accessible, give copies to your care team and the person who speaks for you, and make sure family know it exists and what it says.
- Share it with those who may act in an emergency. As covered in the question on who to contact, what ambulance and hospital staff are able to act on differs by country and by service, and a plan they cannot find will not change what happens. Ask your team which form is recognised where you live, and keep a copy where it would be needed.
- Revisit it. Wishes can change, and that is fine. You can update a plan at any time.
Recording wishes is not about giving up. It is about staying in control of your own care, and taking the weight of difficult decisions off the people who love you. Many families say that knowing they were following the person's wishes brought real comfort later.
