TIPS TO TRAVELING WITH SOMEONE EXPERIENCING MEMORY LOSS

• Contact the hotel in advance and tell them you are traveling with someone experiencing memory loss. Ask them what services they provide that can help you.
• Stay in the same room as your loved one, or at least enjoy a connecting room.
• If you will have multiple stops on your trip, try to stay at the same brand of hotel. This will make it easier for your loved one, as all their locations will be very similar, if not the same. I recommend you request a room with the same layout at each location. For example: bathroom on the left side of the room at each stay. This will make nighttime bathrooms visits much easier to find.
• Take nightlights and place one in the bathroom and any other space you think might create a problem.
• Remind the night manager that you are traveling with someone experiencing memory loss, just in case your loved one gets out of the room and is wandering at night. The night manager can contact you and get them back to their room quickly if your loved one does escape
Don’t forget about you! Be sure to plan things that you enjoy too.
