We can't RV right now due to wife's medical condition, but I'm wondering if someone can help? This "disabled" stuff is all new to us.
What do you think is the best way to notify others that my disabled wife is at home and will need help? Let's say I'm away from our house, maybe out shopping and I fall over dead or vehicle accident or what ever and I can't call her?
What is the best way to let others (probably first responders) that she is at home unattended? We do have a plan of what she should do if she is notified, but we want to make sure that she in fact notified in the event I can't.
I have her listed as "ICE" in my phone and have an instruction note taped to my driver license in my wallet.
Being this "disabled" stuff is new to us, surely there is a better way we haven't thought of, your thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
Since you're soliciting information about when YOU are out and about and need to make a notification that something has happened to YOU, the things you've noted in your original message is a good starting point. Along the sames lines as mentioned elsewhere, you can buy a medic alert bracelet to wear on your wrist or around your neck, and have a custom engravement "see wallet instructions" so that your note attached to your drivers license is not overlooked. First responders always look for any sort of medic alert information, on the wrist or around the neck.
Something else you can do is type out instructions (so they are easily read) and put those instructions in a brightly coloured envelop, kept somewhere visible inside your vehicle. Print on the outside "In Case of Emergency". Could also be kept in the glove box or center console of your vehicle.
