Independent Living Issue: Senior Driving

For most seniors, driving means independence. Just the thought of ever relinquishing the car keys may be devastating. Some recognize that their skills are deteriorating and limit or stop driving on their own; others do not, placing themselves and others in danger.
Sound familiar? Is Dad just slow to react behind the wheel? Or has he gotten lost returning from familiar places and demolished the neighbor's mailbox three times? Whatever his senior driving issue, you probably have a few questions about how to approach him—and, if necessary, how to wrest away the keys:
- How can I get Dad to understand the risk he poses to himself and the public?
- What driver safety refresher courses are available?
- Can he be limited to driving only during the day?
- Can his doctor get the DMV to yank his license?
- Will the DMV call him in for testing if I report him?
- How can I get help with my senior driving issues?

"As a once-skeptical consumer of phone counseling, I was won over by the Silver Advisor who assisted me. The breadth and depth of her eldercare experience, excellent listening skills, ability to quickly and thoroughly assess my mother’s issues, and provide essential advice was impressive. I found her recommendations very helpful and won’t hesitate to use this valuable service again."
