The Great Outdoors

Traveling with DementiaFor people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, travel can be stressful. Being away from a familiar environment andestablished routines may result in an increase in disorientation and agitation. However, with careful planning, it is quite possible totravel safely and well with someone in the early stages of the disease. Someone in the middle stage would present more of achallenge, and travel for someone in the late stage would not be recommended under normal circumstances.

To Travel or Not to Travel?

If the answer is yes to any of the following questions, travel would most likely not be tolerated well:

· Are there periods of agitation, aggressive behavior, and significant disorientation even when in the home environment?Being in unfamiliar surroundings will only make this worse.

· Is wandering a concern? If so, wandering may increase in unfamiliar surroundings.

· Is there fear of new places and experiences? If so, the new sights, sounds, and people could prove overwhelming.

Helpful Suggestions

Once the decision has been made to proceed with the travel plan, there are a number of considerations and preparations tothink about in order to ensure a successful outcome.

· If traveling by plane, try to schedule the flight on a low travel day (generally Tuesday–Thursday). As much as possible,avoid traveling during peak travel periods, such as holiday and summer vacation times.

· Prior to travel, arrange for airport escort services to and from the gate.

· When booking the flight, inform the airline of any special needs you might have and let the security and flight attendantsknow you are traveling with someone with dementia.

· Accompany the person to and from the restroom. Do not leave them alone.

· If traveling by car, many of the previous considerations remain the same. In addition, set up a comfortable place in thevehicle conducive to napping and be prepared to stop as often as needed for comfort and stress reduction.

· If staying in a hotel, inform the staff ahead of time of any special needs. Be prepared to share the room and secure thedoor to prevent wandering at night. One recommendation would be a childproof doorknob cover.

· Find out about medical facilities at your destinations in case of an emergency.

· Be sure to take an adequate supply of medications.

· Make sure the person is wearing full identification that is not easily removed and is complete with name, address,destination, and contact numbers. It is recommended that travel companions carry a current photograph of the personas well.

· Make sure you have enough people to assist you every step of the way.

Documents to Bring

· Doctors' names and contact information with A list of current medications and dosages

· Phone numbers and addresses of the local police and fire departments, hospitals and poison control

· A list of food or drug allergies

· Copies of legal papers (living will, advanced directives, power of attorney, etc.)

· Names and contact information of friends and family members to call in case of an emergency

· Insurance information (policy number, member name)

KeyStepstoReducingHospitalAdmissionsforPeopleLivingwithDementiaDuringCOVID-19Pandemic

Key Steps to Reducing Hospital Admissions for People Living with Dementia During

COVID-19 Pandemic

Emergency room (ER) visits and hospital admissions can be extremely traumatic forpeople living with dementia. Imagine the lights, sounds, unfamiliar people, sense ofurgency, and not being able to explain how you are feeling or understand why youare there.

Compared with other older adults, older people who are living with dementia have:

●Three times as many hospital admissions

●Four times as many hospital days

●Almost three times as many ER visits

It is crucial to reduce hospital admissions for people living with dementia during theCOVID-19 pandemic. We recommend that communities consider implementing thefollowing key steps to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions for their residents:

●Train staff on how to monitor for a change in status including examining forskin breakdown, increased bathroom visits, signs of pain or increased confusion

●Implement routine environmental sweeps to identify potential fall hazards withinresident rooms. Instruct staff to ensure mobility aids are accessible.

●Educate caregivers on how to be an advocate for residents. For example, ensurethey understand the resident’s cognitive baseline, transfer and ADL status.Provide a list of questions to ask while in the hospital.
