Beyond Driving, with Dignity

from Life Happens · host Kim Hegwood

If you are concerned about an aging loved one’s ability to drive safely, there are options to minimize conflict and provide acceptable transportation alternatives, resources, and a specific plan to ensure a smooth and successful transition from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat.  Today Kim Hegwood will be speaking with Jack Angel about a program that is a valuable tool in helping older drivers (and their families) make appropriate decisions regarding the future of one’s safe driving career. Kim and Jack will discuss the following: What are some of the signs that it might be time for a senior to retire from driving? How do I start to have a conversation with my mom/dad on their driving? What if the senior agrees to limit their driving? What happens to my mom/dad once they stop driving? How do they get around? What is the Beyond Driving with Dignity program and how long has it been in place? Bio: Jack Angel is the owner-operator of Senior Care Authority in Southeast Texas and a Senior Care Advocate. It is his mission is to find the most appropriate solutions for your loved one's transition into the next phase of life.
