It’s so special to get everyone together for a family holiday, especially somewhere as relaxing as Ramsgate. Including everyone in the holiday also means different preferences and different needs for each person. If Granny’s coming along, there are some things you need to note before leaving on your trip.
Four things to consider for a granny-friendly holiday
1. Keep the accommodation simple
Whether Granny is frail or not, it’s still best to pick a place that is all on one level so there are no complicated steps to climb for her to access any part of the holiday home. At the Ramsgate Cottage, everything is open plan and easy to access for everyone in the family, check it out for yourself!
2. Give her some private space
Granny might get up a little later than everyone else, or go to bed a little earlier, so give her a space of her own to retire to at the end of every day. A room with an en-suite bathroom is a great idea, so she has privacy when she needs it and doesn’t have to share a bathroom space with her grandkids!
3. Consider the food being served
Granny might have difficulty chewing, or be unable to eat certain foods that are brittle or sticky. Choosing a holiday home that’s self-catering (like the Ramsgate Cottage) is the best idea. This way, you can serve Granny exactly what she likes, without having to stress about what the hotel restaurant might be serving.
4. Plan some appropriate activities
Pick an area that has an array of different activities on offer. Some of the family can go to a more strenuous activity, while Granny and a few others opt for something more relaxing. From shopping, to flea markets and parks, Ramsgate has it all! To see what else is on offer, click here.
If you keep things simple and try create a routine that Granny’s used to, everything should go off without a hitch. It couldn’t be easier to cater for everyone, including Granny, on your next beach holiday!
