The holiday season is a fun time for all — but seniors may want to make some additional considerations.

Whether you’re going shopping, heading out to a holiday party, or simply going to visit with your friends, it’s wise to make sure you think ahead about any accommodations you may need.

Consider the walking distance, whether there are places to sit down, and whether there is shade or wheelchair ramps if you need them.

Don’t forget that delays happen more often these days — so bring snacks, water, and any medications you may need in the immediate future. These simple considerations can make your holiday outing much safer and more enjoyable.
