Holidays for disabled people

winniethewitch

I live alone after a lot of bereavements in 9 months 3 years ago & 1 a year ago (inc hubby, & 2 grandsons (brothers) aged 3 & 19). Won't boreya with rest! I'm disabled due to cancer treatment & arthritis & suffered mental trauma, inc stress triggered speech defect & memory blips. Also got unrelated severe hearing loss. I get about my home using sticks, & walker for short distance outside. Bought an electric wheelchair (IGO fold) & a midi scooter. These cost almost 4k. Ive had no proper holiday for 15 yrs. Now alone, I thought I'd try a few days fairly close by (I live in North West England). Daughter been ace, but she's exhausted & depressed too. Blackpool has one proper disabled hotel, but 5 days would cost over £1k Many coaches limit wheelchair no.s/types. Most must be self loaded (I can't). I'd love to visit Benidorm again as hubby & I loved it & it may revive memories I lost due to trauma....that bubble popped! I still look, but it is daft to really. I have an adapted VW Caddy. I don't have much issue using Motorways, but parking is always an issue as van has auto ramp, & needs about 6' clearance & loading. Getting a space is bad then always one who parks too close.  I worked 48 yrs. We did save, but funerals are not cheap...& there's been a lot... so savings are not great. Also coaches have lots of dead time in between....Ideas appreciated.

My mum has mobility issues, uses a walker and mobility scooter.  I booked a wheel chair accessible caravan for us, plenty of parking space nearby, roomy inside, everything nearby and easy to get at. Due to covid we thought it best the added isolation would give us. We used a company called Parkdean who have sites all over the UK. I wouldn't rule out going abroad as many people with various disabilities do so the travel industry are set up to cater for  everyone but the review sites and disability groups can point you in the direction of companies that can look after your needs. I've just googled benidorm for disabled people and lots of info came up.

limit less travel..

disabled access holidays..

and hotels melia, gran gali,villaitana, royal benidorm, dynastic, agir, helios and many more have disabled access so benidorm it seems caters very well and what with the multitude of mobility scooter rentals you can soon be doing a Madge.
