<p>Packer, As per my post #57, it was suggested by a geriatric care manager that we place important info and copies of documents in Ziploc bags and attach them to the refrigerator and back of the front door. The care manager said that emergency personnel know to look in these two places for important information in the event of an emergency. If the patient needs to be transported to the hospital, the EMT takes the Ziploc bag with the patient. </p>
<p>This might not be as important since there are 2 people in your in-law’s household, but it’s very important for those who live alone.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t you know it, but exactly one month after we placed the Ziploc bag with my uncle’s info on his refrigerator, he was badly injured in a fall and taken by ambulance to the hospital. I found out when a social worker from the hospital called and said she found my phone number in his Ziploc bag.</p>
