Self Assessment Program for Older Drivers
Through our Enhanced Self-Assessment Program we help identify those drivers that are at a “higher risk” for an accident and help find alternatives to driving.
Families benefit from a third-party, impartial mediation in resolving this very delicate and sensitive issue with their loved-one.
Our programs provide families with the missing link between their desire to bring this issue to a peaceful resolution, and their ability to actually do so.
This Self-Assessment serves as an additional tool for the older driver and his/her family. As such nothing is reported to the DMV
Already a safe driver? We can offer tips on how to remain safe as you progress through the aging process.
Our Enhanced Self-Assessment Program is designed to help older drivers determine if it’s time to make a smooth transition from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat while preserving their dignity, privacy and independence.
