2. It’s said that youth is wasted on the young, but fortunately
travel need not end with the evolution of years.
If you still have the passion for travel but lack the physical
prowess to handle it by yourself, you may want to hire a travel
companion. A companion adds an extra layer of support,
manages the logistics and absorbs the hassles of traveling,
allowing you focus on the quality of the experience and enjoy
the journey — whether you’re with your family, at a wedding or
graduation, with friends or on your own.
“Aging well is about engaging support. Physical limitations
don’t require you to retreat from your lifestyle. That’s really
what travel companions represent,” said Sam Cross with Broad
Street (http://www.BroadStreetHomeCare.com), a high-end
boutique North Shore home care agency that also helps
coordinate senior travel and travel companions. “Like personal
assistants, they fill in the gaps and enable independence so you
can live and travel well. Furthermore, if you have a condition
that requires more attention, a travel companion with skilled
nursing* qualifications can be arranged.”
Family weddings can be a stress-free pleasure when a travel companion makes the travel
arrangements.
Imagine going through the airport with everything taken care
of, from luggage to tickets. At your destination, your
reservation for dinner is all set and your ride to the restaurant
has been scheduled. Did you decide to change plans and take a

3. day trip to Versailles instead of having lunch at the Eiffel
Tower? No problem. Companions remove the intimidation of
travel by putting all the details together.
“I know that just thinking about planning a trip can be
overwhelming. There are so many moving parts to be
considered, from the larger decision of where to visit, to the
smallest detail of what special equipment might be needed in a
room,” said Terri Netzel with Lake Shore Travel, a luxury
leisure travel advisor for over 15 years. “Do you want to visit
Egypt and see the pyramids but are in a wheelchair? That can
be arranged.”
But when clients think about flying these days with all of the
restrictions and regulations, she said they sometimes think it’s
not worth the hassle.
It doesn’t have to be that way, with the right assistance in
planning along with the support on the ground once you’re
there.
“It’s part of a larger philosophy not to drive the client’s
decisions but rather to provide comprehensive support to allow
people to live the life that they choose,” said Cross of Broad
Street Home Care. “We extend this philosophy to all parts of
our services. It’s about living well within the paradigm of
aging.”
As the world gets smaller with improved technology,
transportation and other resources, travel opportunities that
were once outside of reach have now become possible. With the
proper assistance, the question is not how to travel, but where
do you want to go and what do you want to do?
