Travel without Leaving Home

Good morning caregivers.
One thing that is always difficult is trying to travel with an elderly loved one. I have found a way to share travels with your senior loved one that you care for. With technology as advanced as it is, many cities are putting information about their destination onto CD's & DVD's. You can go online and find the tourism centers for whatever location you are interested in and request their travel information. Many will send you paper info along with Cd's & DVD's.
Use these to share with your loved one. The videos point out great points of interest, beautiful and interesting places to see. It's almost like being there. I used these for activities in my facility. Some times we would have theme weeks and these DVD's/locations  were a part of our theme. It was very enjoyable to the seniors. It was especially enjoyable to get information on locations that my patients had either lived or visited. They recognized places and that led to reminiscing therapy.
I have a link here to one site that had put together several of these travel info kit sites that you can visit and request information on their location. When you get to the site, scroll down the page and click on "Travel" in the left hand column Click Here
