Whether the seniors are self-sufficient and living on their own, or they require regular help from staff or family members, advanced planning can make the difference between an inconvenience and a tragedy. The tips include preparing an emergency kit along with important documents, as well as how to create a Personal Support Network, which can be a life-saver when the time comes.

Government agencies such as FEMA and ready.gov are great resources, but they are light on senior-specific information, making this release a valuable planning guide for families with older members.

SearchSeniorLiving.com is a resource for all aspects of housing and care for seniors, retirees and the  elderly.
