Safety & Disaster Preparedness

Safety

Do not leave valuables lying around. Put away jewelry, cash, checkbook and credit cards safely and securely.
Ask for a receipt every time your care provider shops for you.
Do not add your care provider’s name to your savings, checking, charge account, Social Security (SSI) or any other documents.
Keep an eye on things such as phone usage, medications and food items.
Do not get overly involved with your care provider’s private life.
Do not lend your care provider money, your car, household furnishings or clothing.
If your care provider is abusing you – hitting you, screaming at you, endangering your health or making you feel afraid, tell family and friends immediately, and call the police or Adult Protective Services at (707) 565-5940.

Let your care provider know about your disaster plan.
Tell your care provider where your Emergency Contact Information is located (a list of your family, doctors, neighbors, etc.)
Discuss your expectations with your care provider in case of an emergency or evacuation
