SIOUX FALLS, S.D.(KELO)- Most of us look forward to summer travel…including the elderly.

Kayla McInerney of Right at Home Sioux Falls says sometimes just a small change of pace fills the bill.

Planning in advance makes a lot of difference.

Summer trips go a lot smoother with advanced planning…especially when it involves the elderly.

McInerney says medication management is especially important.

Air travel requires some extra planning.

It’s always good to get away and break the routine in the summer.

McInerney says travel days can be long days for anyone…and there are some special risks involved when planning travel for the elderly.

It’s also important to plan the way the trip will end.
