Fifteen Essential Documents

Here is a list of 15 essential documents all retirees must have in order. Some of these docs are important for all of us. Get them before you need them. If you are a senior who lives alone or doesn’t have a network of folks, some resources that can help are:

1. CareCheckers: Offers daily reassurance calls for seniors, including medication and activity reminders, as well as friendly conversations¹.
2. Snug Safety: A free app that checks in with seniors daily. If a check-in is missed, it alerts emergency contacts. They also offer a paid plan where someone will personally call if the check-in is missed².
3. Eskaton’s Telephone Reassurance Program: A nonprofit organization that provides daily phone calls to housebound seniors³.
4. Community Phone’s Caregiver Plan: Provides daily phone check-in calls to ensure the well-being of elderly individuals living alone⁴.
