Driving and Dementia.
A dementia diagnosis does not necessarily mean that a person with dementia have to stop driving straight away. However, because the condition involves a gradual decline in both cognitive and physical ability, they will need to stop driving at some point.
Having the discussion about stopping driving is very difficult, but very necessary, because dementia ultimately reduces your loved one’s driving ability, possibly resulting in a crash causing death or injury.
So today we discuss driving and dementia.
This booklet can be used by family carers and professionals to help people with dementia consider driving retirement. DrivingandDementia.pdf
