Tips and tricks when caregiving and traveling

Travel adds an extra layer of stress when you’re caring for a loved one. Especially when caregiving for a loved one with dementia or complex needs. Planning ahead makes all the difference. Build in extra time, keep routines as familiar as possible, and pack essentials like medications, comfort items, and written care details.

It’s also okay to ask for help. Airport skycaps and lanyards with specific medical concerns can help everyone supporting you as you travel. Coordinating respite care, using professional caregivers, or adjusting travel expectations can protect both you and your loved one from this busi-ness of travel.

At Touching Hearts at Home CDA, we remind families that good caregiving includes caring for yourself, too. Thoughtful planning allows travel to be safer, calmer, and more manageable.
