Planning a Trip for a Senior in Your Life

• Westminster Canterbury excursions are usually one to five hours in length and include opportunities for sitting or resting as needed. • If you’re planning a nature trip, make sure you learn about trail accessibility and accommodations. Is the trail paved or gravel? Which parts of the trail are wheelchair accessible? Is the trail primarily flat or are there elevation changes? • Call ahead to your destination and inquire about wheelchair access or ease of navigating with a walker. • Whenever possible, make an advance trip to your destination. Face-to-face communication provides the most clarity and the opportunity to actually see the site will provide assurance that your destination is appropriate for your loved one. • Always pack any required medication as well as a simple first-aid kit and snacks.
