Their current health insurance plan may have to change to meet health care needs. With their consent, you should:
- Review their health insurance coverage to see if it meets their current needs.
- Assess costs such as deductibles, copays, and premiums to make sure the plan fits their budget.
- Some health insurance plans may cover professional in-home care to support your personal caregiver responsibilities.

Create a file of all your loved one’s medical information to make sure you’ll have access to it when you need it most. The file should contain:
- Diagnosed medical conditions
- A list of all doctors
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance information
- Medical records and history
