New Free Resource to Seniors and Their Families: Information for Life

March 29, 2012 - PRLog -- The Society of Certified Senior Advisors has released a new resource kit called Information for Life. This is a tool that allows seniors to put together a comprehensive compilation of their personal, legal, medical and financial information. When families most need vital information from a senior is when they are least able to give it, but with the Information for Life kit families have access to the critical information needed to make decisions for seniors and handle their affairs when they are no longer able to do so for themselves.

The Information for Life kit provides documents where you can compile information on a variety of topics relevant to the overall wellbeing of a senior and their family.
•   Who to call in an emergency and next-of-kin contact information
•   Household information such as where your extra house keys or if you have a pet that needs to be              cared for
•   Whether you have an advance directive or living will that makes your medical wishes known and                where it can be found
•   Medical information such as medications and health insurance
•   An overview of pertinent financial documents and their location
•   And much, much more

It takes only once for those who care for seniors to know what they don’t know. It takes the Information for Life Kit to provide the answers.

SCSA is working to provide seniors and their families with the most up-to-date forms and content as possible. To see what is presently available go to http://www.csa.us/InformationForLife and check back periodically for new forms and resources.

The Society of Certified Senior Advisors (SCSA), provides free resources and tools for our members as an ongoing commitment that we have in helping professionals to understand the complex and dynamic lives of modern senior citizens.
