There may be times she&#8217;s more willing to be a passenger than others and that may work out for both of you for the better.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><br \/>\nMake a List of Weather Conditions to Avoid<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Weather can be a tremendous problem, especially if your senior is a nervous driver anyway. Sit down with her and talk honestly about which weather conditions make her the most uncomfortable and which ones you&#8217;d rather she didn&#8217;t drive in. Once you&#8217;ve got a solid list, she&#8217;ll need to stick to it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Check out Sunset Times<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Times for dusk and dawn vary from day to day, but most people don&#8217;t tend to notice that much. If your elderly family member shouldn&#8217;t be driving at night or doesn&#8217;t feel comfortable doing so, then knowing when true sunset and dusk times are can help\u00a0you both by giving you a solid time. Most weather forecasting sites have this information listed each day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pad Travel Time<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The more extra time your senior can add to her travel time, the better in terms of her comfort during the trip. If she&#8217;s feeling rushed or as if she doesn&#8217;t have time, she&#8217;s more likely to make a mistake or experience difficulties. Work with her to figure out how much extra time she&#8217;d like to add to her regular travel time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Get an Agreement about Routes<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some roads and routes are much easier to drive than others. If there&#8217;s a specific road you&#8217;d prefer your senior avoided, make sure you mention it. There may also be roads she doesn&#8217;t enjoy driving. Helping her to avoid these roads can give her a much more pleasant driving experience overall.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Offer an Easy Alternative to Driving Herself<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The best thing that you can do for your senior is to not make a big deal if she decides that she&#8217;d rather not drive. If you celebrate too much, you might remind her that she actually doesn&#8217;t want to give up driving. Instead, make it easy for your senior to access other transportation options, such as having elderly care providers drive for her.<\/p>\n<p>Deciding to quit driving is not easy. Give your aging adult time to come to terms with this new reality.<\/p>\n<h4>If you or an aging loved-one are considering <a href=\"https:\/\/integrityinhome.com\/contact-us\/\">elder care in Lake Oswego<\/a>, OR, please contact the caring staff at Integrity In-Home Care.<br \/>\nCall today\u00a0(503) 660-3755<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elder Care in Lake Oswego OR: If your aging adult is in that grey area between still being able to drive and sometimes feeling uncomfortable behind the wheel, you may need to set up some ground rules.
