Background: People living with dementia (PwD) experience progressive functional decline with increasing dependence on their caregivers. Advanced care planning (ACP) has the potential to promote quality of life, reduce iatrogenic harm, and minimize overutilization of healthcare resources, yet planning ahead in the context of dementia is challenging and requires consideration of numerous factors over an extended period of time.

Because EDs play a vital role in providing care to PLWD, there has been increased attention to improving the ED care experience. Yet, measures to evaluate the ED care experience for PLWD focus predominantly on care utilization or distal outcomes (e.
