My mother, quite sick, in the hospital, and my wife and I received a call that we need to come in, they didn't expect her to live through the day. She was even sporting a "Do not Resuscitate" wrist band. Decisions were made, surgery was done, and they provided her with a pacemaker. At that time, she had shortly after moved into a home (big place, they have a visiting hair dresser, play games, have a bar (no alcohol, but it has the ambiance).
Several things.
