Put the practical numbers in one place so they are easy to find when plans change.

Choose what belongs on the page
Ask your parent which contacts they use regularly. Start with the people they want to call about household errands, transport or a building problem. Write the name, purpose and preferred number in large, readable type. Verify service numbers against a published source.
Decide who gets a copy
Make one copy for the place your parent chooses at home. Agree with everyone involved before sharing their numbers. Keep the contact sheet simple, and store private account details in a separate place under the account holder’s control.
Make it easy to keep current
Put the date at the bottom and review numbers when someone moves or a service changes. Keep a pen beside the sheet so your parent can mark a new number as soon as they learn it. Ask what they actually used before adding more fields.
