If someone is in danger
Call your local emergency number (911 in the United States), or call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Do not wait for a reply here. No one in this circle can respond to an emergency.
Community suggestions are based on personal experiences. They are not a substitute for professional medical, legal, mental-health, or emergency assistance.
The Care Circle is shared with other caregivers.
What you post here can be read by every signed-in caregiver in the circle, so please share only what you are comfortable making public. You choose the name shown with your post, and you can edit or delete it at any time. Posts marked Example are written samples, not real caregivers. Every post is open to reporting and to moderator review, and removed posts disappear for everyone.

Keep one folder with every medication list, insurance card, and doctor's number. It saved me two hours in the emergency room.

I finally asked my sister to sit with Daddy on Saturday mornings. I cried the first time I sat in my car alone. It helped.
