Good travel preparation is the be-all and end-all in order to be able to relax one hundred percent and not be disturbed by any unexpected turn of events. Extensive travel preparation is particularly important for seniors, as health incidents can occur more often. But it doesn't take much - and the dream trip can begin. Here are a few little tips.

In addition to the classics such as sun protection, insect repellent or painkillers, an early visit to the family doctor is extremely important. Get the most important medications prescribed, just in case. You should also be well informed about which vaccinations are necessary for your travel destination. It's best to have this done by your family doctor a few weeks in advance. Many countries require certain vaccinations for entry, which should be done around five weeks in advance.

You should keep in mind that thrombosis can occur on long-haul flights. Therefore, drink enough water before you fly, exercise occasionally and perhaps even wear compression stockings if you are at higher risk of thrombosis.

But what if there really is an emergency abroad and you urgently need emergency services? Of course you can rely on cell phones and your travel partners, but problems have often arisen that are not known in Austria, for example. The cell phones don't work, you're alone right now or you can't remember the number. In order to get help quickly in emergencies, we generally recommend an emergency call bracelet for seniors, whether at home or abroad.

An emergency call bracelet for seniors is always wearable, looks like a watch and makes it possible to make emergency calls no matter where you are. This means you can contact emergency doctors and also relatives. An emergency call bracelet like this can save lives in the most critical cases. However, many bracelets available in Austria can only be used domestically, but not the emergency call bracelet from Alarmbands, which works throughout Europe. It looks like a cool watch and allows older people to stay in familiar surroundings or even travel and feel completely safe. Connected to a 24-hour emergency call center, help is available at any time.
