So a friend of ours died recently. I’m not going to name him. But I’m going to point out that he lived on the East Coast, far away from his family who almost all live in the Midwest. I don’t know what kind of social life he had, but there is a 2-week period between when he was last seen and when he was found.
So I’m just going to say that if you live alone, and you’re on the elderly side, you should find at least somebody who
- has your house key
- speaks to you every day or two
- knows your basic medical history, especially your medicine allergies
- knows how to contact your family, your employer, a few of your closest friends, and the leaders of any groups you may belong to
