Age Well: Traveling with Dementia — Preparation, Possibilities & Support

In this informative and thoughtful session, dementia care specialist Dr. Beth Nolan will offer guidance on how to prepare for travel, anticipate challenges and adapt plans to meet changing needs. The session will also explore how travel may affect someone living with dementia and how to make the experience safe, respectful and enriching for all. You will learn practical tips for planning travel with someone living with dementia, from choosing destinations to setting realistic expectations as well as guidance on recognizing how different environments, routines and sensory inputs may impact the travel experience.
