are <strong>traveling</strong> with a <strong>senior</strong> companion it is wise to be prepared<br />
<strong>for</strong> any emergency situation you may face.The best practice is<br />
to carry the medical reports and other medical paper copies<br />
with you as in any case of an emergency those copies will<br />
come handy.
Emergency Contact Cards &<br />

Make sure to put your contact card or their mobile phone with all<br />
the numbers saved in your elder companion's pocket/wallet. In<br />
case you get separated from your <strong>senior</strong> family member, the<br />
measures written above will come handy. Even a disposable<br />
