Those new dings and dents on your aging parent’s car may leave you wondering if your parent should still be driving. The damage may be a sign that driving safely is becoming an issue due to vision problems, delayed reaction time and/or confusion. Before your parent’s driving gets seriously erratic, it’s important to have an honest conversation about hanging up the keys. Prior to broaching the subject, it’s best to have good alternatives in mind, such as the Errand and Transportation Assistance offered by RIGHT CARE.

Your aging parents will likely feel reluctant to give up the independence that driving offers, but with our help they can still run errands, go to doctor’s appointments, the pharmacy, and visit with friends and family—all without getting behind the wheel. If physically leaving the home is no longer a safe option, or your parent would simply prefer reading a book or gardening rather than going out, a RIGHT CARE team member will be happy to retrieve their items from a local merchant.
