Do you have an Action Plan in Case of an Emergency?

Thursday, November 13, 2025 | 1:00-2:30pm

Jamie Oldham and Amanda Gardner, Schluter & Hughes

November is National Family Caregivers Month. Join us for a hands-on workshop led by a nurse, Jamie Oldham and an attorney, Amanda Gardner, from Schluter & Hughes Law Firm. Together, we’ll build your very own Emergency Folder—complete with refrigerator alerts, phone ID cards and the key documents you (or your loved one) may need if a hospital trip or medical emergency arises. We’ll provide all the supplies — folders, forms, magnets, and more — so you leave with a ready-to-use resource. This is something every caregiver needs. Plus we’ll talk about practical safety tips, what paperwork the ER team looks for, and how smart home technology can support safer living. Whether you’re caring for someone with dementia, supporting a family member, or planning ahead for yourself, this workshop will give you tools and peace of mind. Come prepared to create, learn, and walk away with a folder that could make all the difference when it matters most.
