Medical Records
Do you have a medical records file for your care recipient? I'm not talking about a copy of their hospital records, just a small file that you can access in case you have to leave in an emergency and leave someone else in charge of their care. Something that will let the temporary caregiver know, in brief, what they need to know about the care recipient and their needs.
Things such as a brief medical history that may be required by EMTs, medication schedule, possible allergies to watch out for, etc...
By having a file that can be used to brief a caregiver you can feel much more relaxed about needing to leave to take care of unexpected emergency situations or about letting someone else take over your duties for a night or three (good luck on that - volunteers to take over caregiving duties even temporarily are about 4 years apart in my experience).
