I keep a file folder next to my elderly mother's EMERGENCY CALL box. In this folder there's copies of important documents such as an updated list of all her medications, allergies, pacemaker information, DNR, living will, and copies of her insurance card, social security card, state I.D. and my power of attorney. When she was transported to the hospital via ambulance last week, there was no panic. Everything was handy and in one place.
