Travel is an important part of life, and as a carer we may be able to take our loved ones out for the day, or to do everyday tasks. Topics in this section may help.
As a carer, transporting your loved ones can be problematic – not only may they have mobility problems, but also negotiating around a busy area can be an issue, like a supermarket carpark.
When completing the form – it’s not whether they can walk very far, but whether they could navigate to the “shop”, or get lost.
Alzheimer’s.org have produced a page on their website to help you through the process.
If your loved one has certain benefits, like higher rate mobility in PIP, you may automatically be eligible.
