[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My elderly parents are planning on traveling across the country in a couple of months for my daughter's graduation.
Because they are declining (both physically and mentally), I would like to hire someone to drive them to airport, help them check in their luggage, prevent them from losing their license, get them to the correct gate, and be nearby to prevent any falls.  They do not have a walker or cane and have fallen several times.

Is there a service who I can hire to assist them?  They are flying from Calif. to DC.  I can pay for an airline ticket for an eldercare helper to ensure their safety.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.   [/quote]

The best experience I had in an airport was when I was traveling with my MIL who used a walker.  We were treated like royalty - moved to the front of every line and escorted through the airport using all the shortcuts.  I was so nice that I've often thought of using a walker myself just to get treated well. (Haven't done it!)[/quote]
