Stay or Go? Great Options for Senior Travel

 


Travelling is one of the top priorities on the bucket list for most people at or over retirement age. Research has demonstrated that this can be beneficial to their cardiovascular health as well as cognitive functioning, which can also decrease the risk of developing depression. Besides, a great holiday is sure to give your social media presence and irresistible refreshment.

With diverse finances, hobbies, and physical aptitudes, it can be difficult to find the ideal location for those aged 65 and up. In this post, we want you to discover some exceptional places in Victoria that are suitable for seniors.

Take a look at our list.

Ocean Road Tour

Give your elderly the opportunity to take part in one of the world's most remarkable coastal trips, the National Heritage designated Great Ocean Road Expedition. They will have a chance to inspect the native wildlife while admiring the stunning surf beach scenery and exploring through aged rainforests.

Yarra Valley Wine Tasting Tour

Your senior loved ones will get to visit the beautiful countryside and visit three premium boutique wineries for wine tastings. They would also get to taste a seasonal main course with estate wine of their choice.

Phillip Island Penguin Parade Day Trip

Let the oldies experience the Koala & Animal Wildlife Park, whilst enjoying stunning coastal walks along the beaches of Phillip Island.

Tour at the Grampians

This may not be suitable for all seniors because of the sandstone mountain range. However, if they are allowed to hike, then this is the best place to bring them to enjoy the breath-taking view of waterfalls and wildlife.

These are just some of the things that your senior loved ones can do and enjoy outside of their homes. The best part? You can have them cared for and accompanied by our exceptional and professional carers at Young Heart Home and Community Care.

  Social and psychological disconnection in seniors is a major public health risk that affects a large number of Australians and put them at risk for memory loss and other serious health issues.

Loneliness is the emotional state of being alone, despite how much social contact one has. An absence of interpersonal connections is referred to as social isolation. Some people experience loneliness as a result of social isolation, while others experience loneliness without even being socially isolated.

However, the abundance of healthy foods available in Australia may not necessarily mean that some Australians have made the right choice for their health. As we get older, obstacles to healthy eating grow alongside us. Sometimes we feel compelled to eat things that satisfy our cravings without providing any real nutritional value.
