Hi, Karen. Try these folks. http://www.mindforyou.co.uk/ They are specialists in escorted holidays for people with dementia and a family member. Lots of smiley faces on their FB photos. Must be doing something right.

I am afraid to say Karen that outside their normal little routine, it is very hard to try and take them away as it progresses. My friend with vascular and alzheimers was full of anxiety. Taking him to neighborhood restaurants, the duck pond where he could feed the geese, a flower garden in the park, or the church started to be his world outside just walking around the neighborhood. The more you see anxiety creeping into to normal every weekly task, such as grocery shopping, clothes shopping, etc., the more important staying close to home and sleeping in their own bed becomes. Routine keeps them calm and that keeps the panic attacks and other issues at bay longer.

Thankyou
