Mom 2 Mom: What's on your plate? ep17 What Happens When the Caregiver Gets Hurt?

In this episode Kirsten and Caroline talk about planning for when the primary caregiver is injured or incapacitated. They cover seizure and medication plans, emergency contacts, powers of attorney, advanced directives, and an ‘away-from-home’ repatriation insurance option. They also share practical travel tips and accessibility concerns for families with special needs—packing essentials, wheelchair-accessible facilities, and the importance of having clear backup plans so others can step in quickly when needed.
