To set up your Emergency Contacts, sign in first.
This page explains how it works. The tool itself is inside your SeniorThrive account.
If something happens, the people around you, a neighbor, a first responder, an ER doctor, need to know two things quickly: who to call, and what they should know about your health.
SeniorThrive keeps both in one place, so you can find them fast, share them easily, and carry them with you if you want to.
Where to find it
Go to My Health, then Emergency Preparedness. You will see two sections: Contacts and Medical Information.
Take your time. You do not need to finish it all in one sitting. Anything you fill in now, you can come back to later.
Adding emergency contacts
For each contact, you fill in a few things:
Name. Who to call.
Phone number. The best number to reach them, day or night.
Relationship. Daughter, son, neighbor, doctor, friend.
When to call them. "Anytime." "Mornings only." "For medical questions."
A short note. Anything a stranger might need to know. "She has a key to my house." "He can translate for me in Spanish."
Most people add two or three contacts. One primary, one backup, and maybe a doctor.
Your medical information
The medical section is where the things a paramedic or ER doctor needs fast live.
Allergies. Medications, food, anything serious.
Current medications. If you use the Medicine Tracker, this fills in on its own.
Conditions. Diabetes, heart conditions, anything a doctor should know up front.
Blood type, if you know it.
Your primary doctor and a specialist if you have one, with their phone numbers.
Your hospital and pharmacy.
Insurance. Provider, member ID, group number.
Special notes. "Has a pacemaker." "Uses a walker." "Do not resuscitate order on file."
If you have no allergies, no conditions, or no medications, say so rather than leaving the field empty. A blank prints as Not recorded, which a responder has to treat as unknown. An answer prints as Affirmed: No known allergies, with the date you confirmed it.
A wallet card you can print
When you are done, tap Confirm and Download and choose Wallet Card. You will get a printable card, the size of a credit card, with the most important information on one page. Fold it, tuck it in your wallet, and you have it on you wherever you go.
Choose Full PDF instead for a full summary to keep on your fridge or share with a family member. It carries a QR code that opens your card on a phone.
Both print the date the card was last saved, in the form Card last saved: March 12, 2026, so whoever is holding it knows how fresh it is.
Sharing with your Circle
Emergency information is always visible to your Circle. It cannot be switched off, because it would be no use behind a switch at the moment somebody needs it. Everything else you share is yours to switch on, category by category, in Settings, under Privacy & Sharing.
In a true emergency, SeniorThrive may also share the minimum information needed to help you, even with someone you had set to see nothing. This is called safety bypass, and it exists because the most important thing about your Circle is that the people in it can help you when you really need them to.
Keeping it up to date
Come back and update this any time something changes. A new medication. A new doctor. A new phone number for your daughter. It only takes a minute, and the date on the card moves with you.
