senior's go-bag should include: Car and house keys. First aid kit. Sanitation and hygiene items. A change of clothes. Extra eyeglasses. Extra batteries for medical supplies like hearing aids. Cash and coin. Medications and medical devices.

Basically an emergency bag that will be taken to hospital if an emergency visit is necessary. I believe they started with pregnant Mom, who packed a go bad in readiness for the trip to hospital. In a seniors case would have list of regular medication, brief history as well as toothbrush, et al. As to one for "pee" I haven't heard that one, but seems possible? We in SF have go bags for the quake in which we can't return to the house for sometime, space blanket, medications, water, etc.
Anything you might need if you were away for a while. When I was caring for my Husband I had a backpack with : A change of briefs (aka "diaper") Several as a matter of fact. I also had another pair of fleece pants. They fold easily and soiled ones can be shoved into a plastic bag. Gloves Wipes Ointment He needed liquids thickened so I had packets of ThickIt to use in any drink. Bottles of water. Snacks. I also had a copy of his POLST (like a DNR but more detailed) The phone number for the Hospice he was on. (Hospice was primary for a call since he was on Hospice they became our 911) I also had my contact information as well as my emergency information.
think all the things you would need if you were taking a young child. Just larger sizes. And more of each item.
For me, my go-bag was what I kept in my car so that if I got stuck at my mom's NH or nearby, I'd have enough underwear and other incidentals to get me through until I got home.
My DH once gotordered to the ER; that turned into open heart surgery. I should have brought under wear, socks, a brush, shampoo and an extra tee shirt.
For some folks, it's what they bring for their incontinent elder.
I have always found that a charging cord and battery back for my cellphone transcends all categories.
