Holidays for Grandparents
When it comes to holidays, it’s not just the children we should be thinking about taking away. It turns out, that there are plenty of benefits for our elderly relatives too, particularly when it comes to the health and happiness of our great-grandparents.
Here at Parkdean Resorts, we’ve teamed up with James Brown, Biogerontologist from Channel 4’s Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds, to share some of the amazing health benefits a holiday can have on our elderly relatives.
From improving mood and enhancing memory, to reducing loneliness and bettering physical function, a four-generation getaway really could be the answer to a longer and happier life.
With short travel times, picturesque locations and familiar environments, the UK is the ideal destination for a four-generation holiday. Now is the perfect time to start planning your next family getaway.
