Holiday insurance and dementia problem.

I know you will appreciate my quandary. DM has last minute booked a holiday, without consultation with anyone. It leaves this Friday.
It’s totally unsuitable. 🤐🤯

Can we cancel and get it covered by insurance? I’m concerned about her wellbeing as it’s an arduous trip. She also can’t actually get to it, at the moment.

I think she would cancel if she thought she’d get her money back.

Any ideas or wisdom from previous experience?

She’s 84 and may or may not be suffering dementia. Which she may or may not have declared when she bought her annual travel insurance a year ago.

I don’t know. We don’t have PoA.

Any idea where I can go for help? AgeUK will be my first phone call.

And thank you to those who journeyed virtually alongside Mum and Cat!
Here’s to me not being here again in three months, fretting about a train ride through the Rockies!

Oh Lord.
Is that what she's planning for her next adventure?
We'll have to get a MNetter signed up to keep an eye on her.
🤣

She was put off train tours when she did one in Switzerland and couldn’t get on and off the trains or manage her bag- which was expected.

So I very much hope that she will stick with Warners and U3A, despite all the limitations.
