The Main Line District of Philadelphia is a great location for planning outings with elderly clients. There are many attractions and points of interests where care providers can escort their clients on a day trip or afternoon outing. The Main Line District is unique because it’s the perfect blend of Old World culture and modernization.
When planning an outing with an elderly client, it’s important that caregivers take several factors into consideration. The weather is always a major factor, especially with outdoor venues. If it’s too hot or too cold outside, the elderly may experience adverse reactions to the extreme temperatures. Ease of navigation is also important. Venues that have poor floor plans or sloping, uneven terrain may present fall hazards for the elderly.
The King of Prussia Mall is one choice for caregivers in the Main Line District for an outing with their clients. The bi-level mall is the largest shopping mall in the United States and is comprised of three million square feet of retail shopping space. King of Prussia Mall is a popular tourist venue in the area and employs 6,000 people. The mall is home to over 400 retail stores and restaurants that range from high end luxury retailers to commonly known chain venues. Some of the high end retailers in King of Prussia Mall are Kate Spade, DKNY, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes.
Aside from the shopping venues, King of Prussia Mall is also home to more than forty restaurants and food courts where seniors and their caregivers can have lunch or dinner during their outing. The variety of food fare at the mall is large and includes everything from snacks like pretzels and popcorn to full scale restaurants. Some of the dine in options at King of Prussia Mall are Bennigan’s, Legal Sea Foods, and Maggiano’s Little Italy.
King of Prussia Mall also offers a wide range of services to their customers. There are three Guests Services counters located within the mall. Guest Services provides visitors with free wheelchair rentals, which is very handy for seniors who may get tired during the trip. Care providers who may worry that their elderly clients could suffer a medical emergency during a planned outing can rest assured during a trip to King of Prussia Mall. Automated Defibrillation Devices and Emergency Oxygen are available at the Guest Services counters, both of which can provide life-saving medical attention until professional help can be summoned.
