Traveling With a Person Who Has Alzheimer’s
By
Joyce Simard
If you feel travel will be too difficult with your loved-one consider
respite care at an assisted living facility. Many facilities offer this
form of short-term care. A great way to approach respite care with your
loved-one is to tell them they are going on vacation too. Respite care
will provide quality care and meaningful activities, which will make their
stay very enjoyable and safe, just as a vacation should be. You can even
call the facility frequently while on your trip to make sure everything is
ok.
Keep in mind that taking a break from your care giving responsibilities
can be vital for your own mental and physical health. In the end, it’s a
tremendous benefit to both caregiver and care recipient. Bon voyage!
