Nobody puts together an emergency plan during an emergency. So do it on an ordinary day, when nothing is wrong and you've got half an hour.
Six things.
1. One page by the front door with their conditions, medications, allergies and their doctor's number on it.
2. A medication list that's genuinely current, including anything they've stopped.
3. The after-hours number for their doctor, saved in your phone. Most situations aren't a 911 situation, and knowing who to call instead saves everybody a night in an ER.
4. A week of medication in the house, not two days.
5. A plan for any equipment if the power goes out. Oxygen, CPAP, a pump find out now what you're supposed to do.
6. Make sure one other person who knows all of the above. If you're the only one holding it, the plan fails the day you're not available.
That's it. Half an hour, and the worst day goes measurably better. We build this into every care plan we write. If you want help putting one together, ask.
Save this and do it this week.
