Alzheimer's Care: Travel Tips from Visiting Angels Humble

It can be challenging to provide a loved one who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease with proper care. These challenges multiply when you remove your loved one from his or her familiar environment in order to travel. Nonetheless, sometimes it is necessary to travel with your loved one, and many seniors in the early stages of dementia can benefit from a trip to familiar places. Keep reading for some travel suggestions from our Alzheimer’s care providers at Visiting Angels® Humble.

Our Alzheimer's Care Tips for Easier Travels from Humble

If you’ve decided to bring your loved one along on your travels, it’s important to take several precautions and prepare appropriately. Our Alzheimer's care providers at Visiting Angels Humble recommend the following:

  • Bring copies of your loved one’s Alzheimer’s care paperwork. Carry copies of relevant documents with you, including legal documents, an updated medical history, a list of medications that your loved one takes, and an emergency contact list. Also make sure that your loved one has papers containing information about his or her medical information and emergency contacts on their person.
  • Take safety measures for potential wandering. When your loved one is away from his or her familiar environment  and routine Alzheimer's care in Humble, they may be more likely to wander. Make sure that your loved one wears an identification bracelet in case you become separated. In addition, enroll in MedicAlert® + Alzheimer's Association Safe Return® as a safety precaution. Finally, be especially vigilant about staying with your loved one at all times.
  • Choose comfortable travel options when possible. Select the hotel or accommodation options that will make your loved one the most comfortable and that will prevent added stress. This goes for your transportation and activity choices as well.
  • Stick to a routine. While it’s impossible to do everything the same, try your best to keep your loved one’s daily routine similar to the way it is when he or she is at home in Humble.
  • Update emergency contacts on your whereabouts. Create a detailed travel itinerary in advance to give to emergency contacts so that they can always find you.
