The First 72 Hours: Hospital or Fall Checklist (Free)

For the day you get the call. Two pages. Print it, put it on the fridge or in the glove box, tick as you go.

What is on it

Hour 0 to 2: call 911 if in doubt, what to grab, what to tell the paramedic, who to call first.

Hour 2 to 12: what to write down at the hospital, the one question to ask, admitted versus under observation.

Hour 12 to 48: one point of contact, the shared note, the house, the bills, the case manager.

Hour 48 to 72: what to get in writing before discharge, and the sibling handoff.

Plus a names-and-numbers block for tonight.

Who it is for

Adult children of aging parents who would rather not guess at the worst moment. Free, no catch. Organization templates only, not legal or medical advice.

Most of this checklist is easier if the answers already exist. The full Household Briefing Kit writes them down before anything happens: https://payhip.com/b/6qELA
