4 TIPS FOR SENIORS &

CAREGIVERS WHILE

TRAVELING

Think & Plan When you are preparing a trip with a senior person, it is

important to plan the trip really well. Thoughtful planning will

help you to enjoy your trip fully without any problem. If your

senior loved one has dementia, then it is recommended to take

direct flights to your destination for safety purpose. If you are

planning to travel by car, then you should plan your route and

stopovers carefully and well in advance.

Carry copies of medical paper

No one really wants any interruption in their trip, but when you

are traveling with a senior companion it is wise to be prepared

for any emergency situation you may face.The best practice is

to carry the medical reports and other medical paper copies

with you as in any case of an emergency those copies will

come handy.

Emergency Contact Cards & Numbers

Make sure to put your contact card or their mobile phone with all

the numbers saved in your elder companion's pocket/wallet. In

case you get separated from your senior family member, the

measures written above will come handy. Even a disposable

phone bought just for the outing will come handy.

GPS Tracking watch /bracelet

If your senior loved one has some form of dementia or Alzheimer’s

disease, then consider buying any GPS enabled watch or bracelet

and signing your elder loved one up for GPS tracking service. If by

any chance your loved one gets separated from you, you can track

them through GPS.
