Survey data were collected from 17 October to 19 November 2025, and focus group interviews were conducted from 31 December 2025 to 22 January 2026. Community\u2010dwelling older adults aged 60\u2009years or above were recruited through purposive sampling for focus group interviews (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200927) and convenience sampling for a cross\u2010sectional survey (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009134).

Survey findings indicated limited formal engagement: 32.1% were aware of advance care planning and 6.0% had documented preferences, despite 84.3% recognising \u2018living will\u2019. The joint display identified 14 integration points (seven confirmations, four expansions, three discordances), with key discordances revealing that informal family end\u2010of\u2010life communication occurs but is not captured by documentation measures and that communal contexts may suppress expressed readiness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Community\u2010dwelling older adults demonstrate forms of engagement with advance care planning that conventional awareness and documentation measures may not capture.
