It's the Holidays with a great opportunity to enjoy time with family and friends. Take the time to celebrate life, be grateful, and reflect on what's important in life, and also appreciate the gift of health. Travel may be one of the biggest gifts this year, especially to visit other family or even returning to your previous hometown.

According to Dementia Care Central (2016), being sure the type of travel, the length of time you are gone, and the place you are visiting is appropriate for you and your loved one’s abilities, needs, and preferences. Some precautions you can take include:

Bringing medication
Packing a change of clothes in case of an accident
Asking another person to come along for help
Scheduling extra bathroom stops along the way
Scheduling extra breaks
Traveling during the day rather than the evening
Avoiding unfamiliar or busy places that might upset or confuse your loved one
