The Home Instead Senior Care® network's Senior Emergency KitSM can help ensure that family caregivers like you have fast and easy access to important information about loved ones in case of an emergency call.
This resource was developed with the assistance of Humana Points of Caregiving®. It is designed to help family caregivers gather details about a senior's doctors, pharmacy and insurance company, medications and dosages, as well as allergies, power of attorney and other important information.
This toolkit will provide you with all the important information you need in a centrally located file so you are ready for a crisis, day or night. The toolkit materials are available for download here.

Would need three of these. Heard about them on LIVE AT FIVE, Hfx and knew that this was what I needed for my elderly parents. And since I have had a life threatening diagnosis recently, I will get one for myself as well. This will make it easier to access my medical information along with my Medic Alert bracelet. Who ever 'thought' this up is a genius...thank you so much.

I'm trying to find a way to have this kit sent to my parents' address, but am not finding it. They have no email access. Can you help? Will try to print this out in the meantime, but they will be more apt to use the kit if it isn't 'home' printed... Thank you and God Bless...
