Aging Parent Drivers Group Presentations

“Adults With Aging Parent Drivers” discusses many of the legal, ethical, and most importantly the emotional challenges faced by a family or professional caregiver when considering a loved-one’s retirement from driving. In this presentation, we provide a roadmap to help families address the issue with tact, compassion, and empathy, so that the older driver’s dignity and independence is never unnecessarily jeopardized.

Presentation topics include:

• The “Driving Intervention Continuum”
• When and how should the conversation start?
• Who should do the talking?
• Creating a family driving agreement
• What other transportation options are available?
• A review of national, state and local resources
• What if the senior driver still refuses to stop driving?
• How to facilitate a smooth transition from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat
