- They are in the final stages of a life threatening, progressive or terminal illness with a limited, poor prognosis, but their medical needs a relatively low in complexity
- Their (or their legal caregiver’s) primary goal is to offer comfort at the end of life
- They demonstrate progressive functional decline and declining palliative performance scale
- They are unable to manage and remain at home for reasons such as:
- They live alone without adequate care-giving support
- Their care needs exceed the ability of the patient’s caregivers
- The patient (and/or family) do not want death to occur at home

- Who pose (or whose family poses) an active risk of violence or harm to self/others
