Driving Safety for Older Adults

The topic of driving is often one that involves a lot of emotions. For many, driving equates to independence and the freedom to go when and where you want.

Listen to this podcast to learn about the importance of developing a plan to help older adults move out of the driver’s seat when necessary, while still remaining engaged with friends, family and community.
