in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

I saw this and realized it would help if you have a passenger in your car who has dementia. If there is an accident, this would be important. Also put something in your car or phone in case of emergency so they could contact a secondary caregiver. Anyone have their loved one wear a medical alert bracelet? I’m not sure my DH would have worn one.

    Thank you for sharing, great idea.

    My husband does wear a medic alert type “dog tag” on a chain that the VA ordered for him. It has my contact info as well as ALZ and diabetic. A secondary contact would be a good idea.
