You know what they say…. A change is as good as a holiday. Whilst we agree, we all feel that holidays are an essential part of life. So, whether you fancy a change of scene in the UK or a cruise around the world (it has happened, two lucky carers cruised the world with one of our lovely clients), we are here to find you a perfect travel companion. If you are a couple and care for your other half, taking a holiday live-in carer with you will have the added benefit of allowing you some down-time as well.

​

Carer supported holidays are becoming increasingly popular. Many didn’t realise they were even possible. Trust us, live-in carers love travelling with their clients! Planning for any trip takes time, from research to essentials shopping, packing to the physical travel, all elements need consideration. A Holiday live-in Carer can help with it all. In fact, that’s half the fun.

First question is where you want to go:

• Beach

• City

• Countryside

• UK

• Abroad

• Cruise

• Disneyland

Next how to do you want to get there:

• Plane

• Train

• Bus

• Ferry/Ship

 

Now here’s a quick checklist to help with research should you wish to start planning:

• Medication (you’ll need enough to travel with and to check you can travel with them)

• Mobility Equipment

• Accessibility (covering a wide scope from transport, activities, accommodation, public amenities even)

• Travel Insurance for you and your Holiday Carer

 

Whether you are frail/elderly or a young adult with a complex care need, everyone deserves a holiday, and a holiday live-in carer makes this entirely possible. Able to assist with all their ‘day-to-day care duties’ they can also help with:

• Booking restaurants and activities

• Helping care for you during travel on the plane/ship/bus

• Showing Documents at passport control

• Speaking to local healthcare professionals should the need arise

 

There are many fabulous holiday companies that specialise in holidays for people with disabilities, offering:

• Disabled-friendly hotels

• Wheelchair-accessible excursions

• Accessible accommodation

• Advice – links to disabled travel insurance

 

They firmly believe that people can travel without limits, and we are inclined to agree!
