Health Tip: When the Elderly Should Stop Driving (HealthDay)



HealthDay - (HealthDay News) -- When you begin to notice the inevitable signs
that an elderly loved one should no longer drive, Helpguide.org from
Rotary International offers these suggestions on how to discuss this
sensitive issue:


Tell the person that you are concerned for his or her safety, as well
as the safety of others.
Mention other transportation options, so the person doesn't feel
trapped at home.
Talk about how much money can be saved in gas and maintenance by no
longer driving.
Offer to take the person to regular appointments, the grocery store,
and other errands.
