Emergency Binder: Checklist + Notes for Caregivers
$2.99
When a parent ends up in the ER, you’re asked for Medicare numbers, medication lists, doctor names, and who has power of attorney, usually all at once. The Emergency Binder lets you gather it all before the call comes, or in the middle of the chaos if it already did.
Every item has a checkbox and a write-in line right next to it. It’s simple to use, and you can share it with your siblings so everyone is working from the same page.
What’s inside (9 pages, 5 sections):
Identity & Legal Documents: IDs, wills, POA, healthcare proxy, advance directives, and a “what to do if no POA exists” guide
Financial & Accounts: bank accounts, income sources, insurance policies, and monthly bills
Medical Information: doctors, pharmacy, insurance numbers, allergies, and medication tables for two parents
Care Planning & Contacts: family decision-makers, home care, assisted living, and memory care, with real cost ranges
Skilled Nursing & Hospital Transitions: rehab, SNF options, discharge planning, and transport for out-of-state moves
Key Resources page of hotlines and websites
