The Caregiver's Document Checklist

Every paper to find before the emergency — five sections. Tap to check off as you find things; it's saved on this device. Or print and check off on paper.

1 · Identity & Legal

Ask this week: “Do you have a power of attorney?” If no — this comes first; it needs your parent's signature while they have capacity.

2 · Medical

Shortcut: photograph the actual pill bottles — the label has drug, dose, prescriber and pharmacy in one shot.

3 · Insurance

4 · Financial

5 · The Emergency One-Pager (write it today)

Tape one copy on the fridge (where paramedics look), keep a photo of it on your phone.

Only have 15 minutes? Do these five:
  1. Photograph the pill bottles
  2. Photograph the insurance card, front and back
  3. Ask whether a power of attorney exists
  4. Emergency contacts on one sheet
  5. Where is the will? (location only)
