[quote=Anonymous]Some good advice. At the bare minimum know what their wishes are, know about their finances, if they have a Will, who is the executor? If you are the person who will be in charge - make sure they have or you create for them a life folder. It should include any medication, health information. Separately have an important documents folder for copies of details on bank accounts, retirement funds, the deed to the house etc.

When things do happen they often happen unexpectedly and you are working on adrenaline and memory. Being able to quickly and efficiently have access to pertinent details is important.

If they have a slow decline then you will need to figure out if they can stay in their house, who or how will they get help - rides to doctors, managing their medications, keeping their house clean, their bills paid, meals etc. There are a lot of good check lists online of things to ask them about, or what you will need to know. But even if you have done a lot of this - expect it whatever the next steps are to be tough, expensive and time consuming.  [/quote]
