Synopsis

When an aging parent becomes dangerous behind the wheel, but refuses to give up the keys, the family can feel stuck. What to do? Find the answers in this minibook, which draws from healthcare, legal, and psychological principles. It provides advice on how to approach the elder to try to work out agreements about driving, as well as a 5 step plan, including a last resort of using legal means to take the keys away from a elderly driver who is a threat to the safety of others as well as himself or herself. If your loved one should not be driving anymore, learn how you, as a caring family member or friend, can act wisely to prevent a disaster.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Author, Carolyn L. Rosenblatt, is a registered nurse and an attorney with over 40 years of combined experience in her two professions. She is a consultant and mediator with a practice in San Rafael, California. In this volume, she uses her 28 years of representing the victims of auto accidents as a lawyer to provide many reasons why a dangerous driver needs to be the family's responsibility. She gives the family practical advice about how to approach the subject of driving with an aging parent or loved one. She targets the resistance most elders put up when the thought of having to give up the car keys is presented to them. Her 10 years of nursing knowledge and experience is combined with legal information, in discussing the problems of dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease, and its effect on the ability to drive. If you have an aging driver in your family, whether it's right now, or you're looking ahead, this short, clear book can help you with some of your most pressing questions. Can't figure out where to start with Mom or Dad? There's a way to do this. You'll find it all neatly summarized in Ten Tips For Handling a Dangerous Older Driver.
