MAY OLDER AMERICANS MONTH AND NATIONAL TRAVEL & TOURISM WEEK (MAY 3-9): OUR INTERVIEW WITH AGELESS ADVENTURER, DEBBIE DOTSON
Welcome to our first May episode of “Caregiving Club On Air” hosted by Sherri Snelling, gerontologist, author and CEO of the Caregiving Club.
On this episode we highlight both May’s Older Americans Month and National Travel & Tourism Week (May 3-9) with Debbie Dotson, the Ageless Adventurer and senior travel expert.
On this episode Sherri talks to Debbie about:
- How airlines are accommodating older passengers and even some “Dementia-Friendly Airport” design pilot programs in the U.S.
- What to know about traveling with an older adult for air travel, cruises and rail travel.
- Since Debbie is also an AgeTech expert, we ask her about her favorite travel apps for older travelers.
- Also, what helps caregivers traveling with an older loved one – how to plan ahead and what to know before you go!
