Summer is time for some much-needed R&R, but traveling with family members across generations requires some extra consideration and preparation to make a vacation that is everything you dream of. Don't worry, though—with careful planning and some upfront organizing using Tender, you can focus on making lasting memories for the entire family.

Before you start packing your bags, getting the green light from your loved one's healthcare provider is crucial if they have any medical conditions. Their doctor can help determine if travel is safe and provide guidance on specific medical needs or precautions.

Once you have the doctor's okay, it's time to choose a destination. Look for senior-friendly places with accessible accommodations and transportation options. Remember to build plenty of rest time into your itinerary and limit activities to avoid exhaustion.

Being organized is key to a low-stress journey. Since that's what Tender does best, we've put together a handy checklist to help ensure smooth travels:
