For people in the early stages, isn it easier for them and their families if they just stop driving immediately?
The abrupt termination of driving freedom is difficult for the person with dementia and often invokes guilt for families. That is why we recommend families first give early thought to ways to reduce driving and then to prepare for the time when driving is no longer safe. This allows the person with dementia opportunity to feel more involved in the decision and time to adjust to the loss of independence. It gives families time to adjust to the added responsibilities for driving and doing errands for the person with dementia.
