Are you a caregiver?

If someone depends on you for meals, medication, or daily support, it’s important to have a plan in place — just in case you’re ever unable to provide your usual care.

Creating an emergency caregiver plan helps ensure your loved one stays safe and supported, no matter what happens. Here are a few key steps to get started:
💚Identify a back-up caregiver who can step in if needed.
💚Set up regular check-ins with a friend, family member, or community agency.
💚Prepare a caregiver guide with details like schedules, medications, allergies or health concerns, and important phone numbers.
💚Carry an emergency card in your wallet. See an example card at tcoa.org/service/caregiver-supports/.

For more information and caregiver support, contact the Tri-County Office on Aging at 517-887-1440.
