You might say, “If I become unable to make decisions about my health due to Alzheimer’s or other dementia (be as specific as you can to avoid misinterpretation), please do not administer any curative treatments or medications, such as antibiotics, should I become ill, except to keep me pain-free and comfortable. I do not want to be forced to eat or drink or have the reflexive opening of my mouth to be interpreted as giving my consent to being fed.”
