Many of us prepare thoroughly in advance when traveling for the holidays with our small children and work hard to anticipate all their needs.This same thoughtful planning is also helpful when arranging travel with your aging loved one.This will ensure the journey is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone.
So how can you help aging loved ones travel smoothly this holiday season? Here are a few key tips to consider:Plan Ahead for Health and MedicationsBefore traveling, review all medications to ensure theres enough for the entire trip (plus a few extra days in case of delays).Keep medicines in original containers and pack them in carry-on luggage.Dont forget to bring a current medication list and advance directives in case of emergency.Choose Accessible, Comfortable Travel OptionsSelect flight times or driving schedules that avoid early mornings or late nights.
If flying, request wheelchair assistance and pre-boarding to reduce stress and fatigue.When driving, plan regular breaks to stretch, hydrate, and rest.Consider Mobility and Safety NeedsIf your loved one uses a walker, cane, or wheelchair, confirm how these items will be transported.Compression socks, comfortable shoes, and layered clothing can also improve comfort during long travel days.Prepare for Cognitive or Sensory NeedsThose with memory loss or hearing or vision challenges may need extra support.
Keep identification handy, use simple routines, and minimize overstimulation when possible.If you consider these needs, families can create a safe, smooth, and joyful holiday travel experience for their aging loved ones.Hurley Elder Care Law is available to provide support to the community throughout the busy holiday season.Contact us at 404-843-0121 or at [email protected] throughout the holiday season.
