Six hours later he passes away peacefully with the minister, Doris, Rosie and two close friends in attendance surrounded by music and the smell of nature through an open window and aromatherapy.Based on the description above, was the facility effective in carrying out John’s wishes in line with his advance care directive/plan of care?
