AARP Caregiver’s Travel Guide for Disabled Patients
Amy Goyer - Family Caregiving Expert
Did you know there are 48 million caregivers in the U.S.? That’s one in 7 of us. Amazing individuals who provide for parents, children, disabled friends or relatives.
Unfortunately it can be a stressful job. 40% say they rarely feel relaxed. 60% say caregiving has increased their levels of stress. And caregiving can feel isolating, stuck at home or in an institution.
Half of adult caregivers have avoided a personal trip with their care recipient due to the difficulties involved.
But wait! Help is on the way. Vacations with your loved ones can create memories that last a lifetime – but you need the right resources and know-how to ensure smooth travel.
Today, we are presenting A Caregiver’s Guide to Travel. Our guest is an AARP Caregiving Expert who is sharing how to plan ahead and create an incredible vacation for both caregivers and their recipients.
