NJ Senior Safety
Are you prepared to deal with any emergencies that may arise with your elderly loved one?
Below is a list that you, as a caregiver, should keep in an easy-to-reach place should an emergency occur. The list should be filled out and kept on a refrigerator and/or nightstand. In times of panic and confusion, you or your senior may forget the most basic information. Timing is critical and seconds can make a difference.
Fill out this list, review it with your senior citizen and keep multiple copies:
