Getting The Most Out of Vacations
Travel
Summertime is synonymous with vacations. For many people, it’s an annual ritual to escape to Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, or Nantucket; for others, the ideal vacation is switching up the destination to explore new and exotic places. During the year, vacations can break up New England’s seemingly endless and cold winter, often the best therapy for the body and soul. The requirement for home care assistance need not impede your desire to relax, explore, and enjoy. Hiring a Travel Nurse ensures that you can continue with your plans regardless of medical needs or mobility impairment.
Vacations can span from a trip to Israel for a grandson’s Bar Mitzvah to a Caribbean retreat; from an annual food & wine festival to a bucket list destination. Whether the continuation of a decades-old tradition or a milestone event, vacations are often the perfect way to spend concentrated quality time with family and friends. With a Travel Nurse by your side, you and your family can focus on the fun, knowing that any issues that may arise will be seamlessly managed.
Pack your bags and let’s go!
While relaxation is often the end goal of your vacation, it’s not always relaxing getting there! For many individuals with physical limitations, just the prospect of getting to their vacation destination can be daunting. With a medical escort your journey is worry free whether you travel by commercial airline, private plane, yacht, or chauffeured car.
Once you arrive, wherever you have a desire to go, your medical escort can find the way – private driver, Uber or resort golf cart. At the destination, your caregiver will make sure the room is easily organized to your liking, and will assist with selecting your preferred dining options. Whether at a top rated restaurant, room service, or a private meal from a personal chef, we will be certain that no detail is overlooked regarding your dietary preferences.
Bringing memories home
While the time away is what most people focus on, it is often the mementos that have the most lasting impact. For art collectors, world travelers, and design mavens, vacations are a time to buy artwork, indigenous collectibles, and home décor. Arranging the shipment of these precious items can be entrusted to your care provider in addition to the uncrating and placement once you are back at home. If photos are your most valued mementos, your caregiver can assist with taking snapshots, then later help with organizing photos in hard copy or electronic albums.
Life’s sweetest luxury
The ability to travel, to have a change in scenery, to experience new cultures, to forge relationships – these are life’s sweetest luxuries. As you age or experience temporary health issues, it doesn’t mean these special times need to stop or be constrained. Privatus has been helping clients enjoy their vacations for more than a decade. In fact, it is one of our specialties. We offer peace of mind and the opportunity to have fun, adventure, and togetherness with those you most enjoy.
