Emma Grahame obtained the video and police notes of the incident using the state’s freedom of information regime. As with any holiday, planning well ahead of time can ensure that everyone has the best possible experience. This is especially true when planning a trip with or for someone who has dementia.Some things to consider are listed here. Passport or other identification document (ID)
My husband is 58 and was diagnosed with Young On set Altzhimers 3 years ago. He has no insight to his diagnosis, thankfully and unfortunately his Altzhimers is very aggressive. Write a list of everything you are taking with you in your luggage, and everything the person with dementia is taking with them. If you need to find items, the list can be a helpful reminder of who has what. The need for accommodations will become more prevalent as more Americans move into retirement age. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts nearly 10 million adults among those 65 years or older will have dementia by 2060. Experts, however, say dementia often is underdiagnosed.
Why do some people disagree with the sunflower lanyard scheme?
The effects of dementia can range from the person becoming frustrated and confused by seemingly normal day to day activities, to having to rely on a loved one or carer to look after them when they can no longer do said activities, or even remember who they are. A customer from Sainsbury’s, who is partially sighted and has early-onset dementia, commented on the mum’s post: “I did feel a bit stupid having to put on the lanyard and I told my husband I didn’t want to wear it, but he encouraged me to. It just showed me that the police have learned nothing from the actions that we took against them,” Grahame told the Guardian. Next up, Luton announced that as part of their 2016 commitments, they would have at least 40% of the airport staff undergo Dementia Friends training by the end of the year… By 2021, we can now see that they are working to become a Dementia Friendly airport and also have a lanyard scheme. It was the first time the city of Phoenix hosted such a workshop, making it the latest U.S. city pledging to make flying friendlier for people with dementia.
Some policies do not cover people for a ‘pre-existing medical condition’. This could mean that any illness or accident linked to a person’s dementia may not be covered. Policies without this clause can be more expensive, so it is a good idea to look at a few different choices. It played every day in my mind,” Kirkwood said. “What could I have done differently? I didn't get to say goodbye to her.”
What does the blue flower badge represent?

Flying off on holiday from your local airport should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience for everyone but air travel can be daunting or frightening for many people affected by dementia because people with dementia might find a new environment like an airport confusing, or may become worried if something doesn’t go as planned. We we're first introduced to the lanyard at Belfast International Airport on our return to Birmingham Airport. When we first wrote this blog in 2016, it had just been announced that London Heathrow was set to become the World’s first Dementia Friendly Airport. That meant all 76,000 staff would be trained to help passengers with what is referred to as a Hidden Disability, mainly dementia, and inspired us to write this blog with the hope that flying with dementia might become that bit easier.How could a device or function help your husband to walk about more safely? For example, would he be able to make a decision about using an emergency button? Mobile signals can vary a lot between networks. Using a roaming sim card means the device can connect to whichever network has the strongest signal instead of relying on one. Next steps We set out to see what UK airports currently have in place and with the help of several dementia related charities and services, we surveyed the public on their thoughts, experience and knowledge of flying with dementia. One pair of handcuffs was removed because it was too tight. Another set, which police told her was looser, was left on Grahame for more than 20 minutes. We know there are lots of benefits to a holiday, such as having new experiences and giving the person with dementia and those close to them a break from routine.
