Managing multiple prescriptions, vitamins, and supplements can feel like a full-time job. Between different dosages, specific timings, and “as-needed” medications, it’s easy for details to slip through the cracks.
To help you stay organized and ensure the safety of your loved one, we’ve provided free, downloadable templates below. Whether you prefer the tactile feel of pen and paper or the clean look of a digital file, we have an option for you.

5 Essential Places to Keep Your Medication Lists
An updated list is only helpful if it can be found during an emergency. We recommend keeping copies in the following locations:
- In the Home: Keep a printed copy in a highly visible spot or inside a dedicated Personal Medical Binder.
- On Your Person: The primary caregiver should keep a folded copy in their wallet or purse at all times.
- On Your Phone: Take a photo of the updated list so it’s always accessible in your photo gallery.
- In Your Vehicle: Keep a copy in the glove box of the car most often used for medical appointments.
- The “Vial of Life”: Store a copy in a labeled container in the refrigerator. Emergency personnel are trained to look there. You can learn more about how to set this up here: Vial of Life – A Lifeline for Caregivers.

Before you start filling out your logs, make sure you have the full picture of your loved one’s health profile. For more information on safely administering medication and understanding how they affect older adults, please see:
