What About Driving?

Talk to your doctor at each visit about driving. At some point, it may no longer be safe for you to drive. Until that happens, try to drive only in areas that you know well so you won’t get lost. Ask the Department of Motor Vehicles about testing your driving skills.

Just because you no longer drive doesn’t mean you won’t be able to get where you need to go. Try other ways to get around:

Have someone give you a ride.

If you tend to get lost or confused easily, take taxis or public transportation.

Contact organizations like the Alzheimer's Association to learn what local transportation services are available.
