When a medical emergency hits, families are asked questions they can’t answer — what medications is she on, who is her doctor, does she have an advance directive? In this episode, retired Occupational Therapist, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, and Dementia Care Specialist Esther Kane walks you through building a simple emergency binder for an aging parent, one page at a time. She covers exactly what belongs inside, how to bring it up without offending your parent, what to add when memory changes are part of the picture, and how to keep it from going out of date. No lawyer required — just a binder, some dividers, and a couple of quiet afternoons. Visit SeniorSafetyAdvice.com for more practical tips and resources on aging in place safely.
