Dementia & Driving - While some people with dementia can keep driving through the early stages of the disease, the condition will eventually cause authorities to revoke the privilege. Driving in the advanced stages of dementia can lead to catastrophic results, including fatal car accidents. In this challenging time, it’s essential to convey that relinquishing their driving option doesn’t automatically smother their independence or mobility. There are a few ways seniors can maintain these things throughout the transition. Visit the website below for more information.
