Do You Know Enough About Your Senior'sMedications and Conditions?

It's the middle of the night and the phone rings. Immediately, your nerves go on high alert and your heart starts to race. It's an emergency medical technician calling from your father's house. Your dad's not feeling well and they need to speak with you about his medications and conditions. As you start to answer, your stomach knots as you realize you don't know nearly as many answers as you should.You aren't alone. In a recent survey conducted for the Home Instead Senior Care® network, less than half (47 percent) of the future family caregivers surveyed said they know their parents' medical histories in case of an emergency. And almost half (49 percent) of the respondents were unable to name any of the medications taken by their parents each day.That's why the Home Instead Senior Care network has developed an information management tool and the Senior Emergency KitSM website at SeniorEmergencyKit.com, to help family caregivers track medications and other important information regarding their senior loved ones' health.This toolkit includes checklists and worksheets for medications, conditions, allergies, doctors, health advisors, and important documents. It provides you with a single place to store your senior loved one's important information so you can easily find it when you need it most.Home Instead Senior Care specializes in helping you provide the best possible care for your senior. Please contact your local Home Instead Senior Care office for more of these resources or to schedule a no-cost in-home consultation to learn more about how we can help you and your parents.
