After spending considerable time in social distancing and isolation, this summer may lead you even more than normal to want to journey to visit friends, or even to just experience a change of scenery and some pleasant activities. And if you provide care for a member of the family with Alzheimer’s or dementia, having your loved one accompany you may be a viable option, with some preplanning.
These travel tips, courtesy of the Compassionate Nursing Services, are the ideal place to start.
Compassionate Nursing Services, a provider of memory care in Clayton and the surrounding areas, is happy to provide an experienced professional respite caregiver to let you travel while your senior loved one remains safe at home, or to provide accompaniment for the senior to enable you to fully enjoy some time away while knowing his or her needs will be completely met away from home.
Our compassionate caregivers have been trusted by families since 2010. To learn more about the communities we serve, contact us at 314-432-4312 and let us help both you and the senior you love with Alzheimer’s to enjoy new and rewarding experiences this summer. Visit our Service Area page for a full list of the areas where we provide care.
