BedandBreakfast.com Celebrates September For Seniors
DENVER, Aug. 9, 2004 — The kids are back in school, vacationers have returned to work, and temperatures have moderated. It’s a perfect time for seniors to hit the road. Here’s some helpful advice to enhance seniors’ travel experience, and some great packages from http://www.BedandBreakfast.com:
It’s okay to ask innkeepers about:
1. Lighting: Ask for a room that has good bedside and bathroom lighting.
2. Tub and/or shower grab bars: If your knees or hips are past their 50-year, 50,000 mile warranty, you need something to grab for deep whirlpool tubs.
3. Comfortable seating: If back problems make reading in bed unpleasant, get a room with reading chairs and good lighting.
4. Stairs: Ask for a ground-floor guest room if stairs are difficult.
5. Phone & email access: Cell phone coverage is iffy in rural areas; ask for details.
