In a previous article, we talked about ways to make local travel easier for the senior in your life. Sometimes, local travel means going to the doctor’s office. If you care for a senior who needs you to take them to see a doctor, you’ll need to be prepared. The general rules of planning a trip will probably still apply, but visiting the doctor requires some additional considerations. Here’s your to-do list.

Start the conversation – A few weeks before the appointment, when the senior in your care is relaxed and preferably talkative, ask how they have been feeling. Is there anything new bothering them? Do they have any questions? Listen closely and jot down notes in a health journal or notebook. Then list all medication and doses and how long they have been taking it. Document the day and time of the conversation.

So far, estimated toll lanes travel times have been added to only one sign — an electronic message board erected over Prince William Parkway just before Old Bridge Road — as part of a test project.

There it sits, near the corner of University Boulevard and Hornbaker Road in the northwest corner of Innovation Park, Prince William County’s ‘epicenter of burgeoning biotech growth,’ which began around 1997 when the county bought 500 acres in the area.
