CareGoals guides families through advance care planning — what matters most, what care looks like, and what to do when everything changes.
These are real questions Sage asks — and answers like one your family member might give.
Sage asks open-ended questions that help people articulate what matters most to them — often things they've never said out loud before. These answers become their care summary.
Waiting for first answer...
The doctor needs to know: should they proceed with a surgery that might extend her life but leave her permanently on a ventilator? Your brother thinks she'd want everything done. Your sister isn't sure. Nobody knows. The doctor is waiting.
Family members disagree — and may never fully reconcile
Medical team acts on assumptions, not wishes
The decision haunts whoever made it
Months later, you wonder if you got it right
Your mother documented her wishes 8 months ago
She said: comfort over machines if there's no real hope of recovery
Sarah, her healthcare proxy, can speak with confidence
There's no argument. There's just love.
Four steps from first question to shared care summary.
About values, preferences, and what matters most — not just yes/no medical decisions.
Organized, readable, and ready to share — not buried in a legal document.
Designate who can see it. Share directly with your care team when the time comes.
Circumstances change. Sage remembers your history and builds on each new conversation.
A real document. One your family and care team can actually use.
"Staying in my own home as long as safely possible. Morning walks. Family dinners on Sundays. Being treated with dignity."
Comfort-focused care if meaningful recovery is unlikely. No ventilator if no realistic chance of independent life. DNR on file.

Outdoors daily if possible. Jazz music preferred. Visitors welcome anytime. Privacy during personal care.
"I was a teacher. I want to be remembered as someone who kept learning right up to the end."
This summary is generated from your Sage conversations and reviewed by a licensed physician before being finalized.
"We kept putting it off. After Mom had her stroke, we had no idea what she wanted. CareGoals gave us a place to start — even just 20 minutes changed everything."
"My dad was the tough, don't-talk-about-it type. Sage asked him questions in a way I never could have. He opened up about things he'd never told us."
"I'm 71. I don't want my kids arguing about me. I did my CareGoals session alone one afternoon. Now they know exactly what I want."
It takes 20 minutes and costs nothing. Sage will guide you — no preparation needed.
