Notifying disabled wife in case I can't?

OP what you are asking about happened to us just a month ago. Short story is got home from movie, left wife in handicap van (doors open fortunately) ran in to check on new rescue dog. He got out and ran towards busy street. I gave chase for 5 blocks in 95+ heat. He got hit and killed by a car. I dragged his body out of the road, collapsed on the sidewalk and my heart stopped. In our case I was able to gasp out that my handicapped wife was in the car in our driveway prior to collapsing but what if???

My point is that you can never plan for every emergency. I think you have things pretty well covered but I'd include the number of a neighbor or family member in your wallet (I left my wallet and cell that day in the car). I have been told by many that leaving my wife alone can be considered abuse of the elderly. I know however, that sometimes when something has to be done, it has to be done. When I leave her alone (she is quadriplegic) it is only for a very short time and I make sure she has access to her cell phone/Siri or Alexa so she can call me or get help. You and I have a tough road and you have my utmost respect.

MY wife is a quadriplegic too. We have property I go out and work on. If I croak while out, she will suffer until the next morning. It is a tough way to live but the alternative is nursing home. We pay a company to call us every morning at 10am. If nobody answers, they have set instructions of what to do/who to call. They call even when camping. We keep our kids informed of every place we stop. So in theory, I could croak at 1001am and she will suffer in her wheelchair until at least 10am the next day. There are no easy solutions sometimes.
