An 86-year-old woman with dementia at a care facility in Sittard died after ten days without food or water, raising serious questions about her end-of-life care. The Health and Youth Inspectorate highlighted insufficient efforts to determine the woman’s capacity to make such decisions and a lack of clear communication among caregivers. Although the facility expressed regret and is implementing new policies, the inspectorate stated it did not meet legal standards ensuring patient autonomy. No official penalties have been imposed, as the facility is already taking corrective actions.
