Fall Speaker Series: DMV, Driving & Dementia

Do you have concerns about a loved one, friend or neighbor who is experiencing memory impairment and is still driving—and you don’t know what to do? The ability of senior adults to drive, retain independence and preserve dignity are among the most difficult challenges to face when it comes to safety on the road and risk of liability.
The Kensington is a new assisted living and memory care community that opened this past summer. Here, we care deeply about our residents as well as those who love them, so we provide opportunities to learn about and prepare for potential difficulties. Join us with Lisa Bricker and Tressa Thompson, who will share their experiences, facts and important information about the problems that can arise when older adults with signs of memory loss get behind the wheel.
