When paramedics walk into your parent's home, they are meeting a stranger. This is the one page that speaks for your parent when your parent can't. Fill it out below, print it, and put it on the refrigerator. Not in a folder. Not in a drawer. On the refrigerator.
This changes what goes on the sheet, because first responders approach a dementia situation differently.
Who your parent is, where they are, and how to address them.
List the conditions a paramedic needs to know about. Plain words beat medical jargon.

This section changes how responders approach your parent. It takes five extra minutes and it can change how the whole emergency goes.
The people who pick up the phone at 2am.
The hospital will ask. Have the answer ready before they do.

Here it is. Print it, then put it on the refrigerator today.
The Caregiver Files is the full setup: medication logs, appointment prep, daily care tracking, and the conversation scripts for getting a resistant parent to cooperate. Matched to your exact situation, not a one-size-fits-all file.
