When should someone with dementia stop driving?
Driving gets risky as memory and judgment change. Warning signs include getting lost on familiar roads, close calls, new dents, or other drivers honking.
Talk with the doctor. In many states the doctor can advise or report concerns. Plan rides before you take the keys. Your Area Agency on Aging can often point you to local transportation for older adults.
