Rationale: 
Advance care planning is a process that respects the individuality of the individual by involving the individual with health care personnel in making decisions about their own care. People who are not sick or patients can plan advance care to decide on the way to take care of their own health in the future as desired. In caring for patients with severe chronic diseases that cannot be cured, including caring for the elderly, advance care planning is very important because if patients and their relatives jointly plan advance care with health care personnel, health care personnel will know the goals and needs of the patient and family's care.

2. To enable the elderly to live happily with their family members.
