3 Simple Tips For Seniors To Maintain Driver Independence

By now, most seniors understand that as they age, their motor skills and reaction times begin to slow down. With that loss of motor function, they also oftentimes begin to lose their ability to stay strong behind the wheel-- and eventually are pushed to give up the keys and their driving independence altogether in one fell swoop. 

But we at A-1 Home Care value your independence, even if you admit that your reaction times and decision-making behind the wheel aren't as crisp as they once were. That's why we pride ourselves on keeping you on the road safely for as long as possible right here in Marina Del Rey.

Our senior care providers offer a variety of different tools and tips to keep you out there on the road safely for as long as possible. Take a look at a few of them below:

1. Modify your car-- with personal expenses in mind, make the necessary modifications to your vehicle to make it as safe and as well-running as possible. 

2. Modify how you drive accordingly-- with personal accommodations to your vehicle come an enhanced way of driving it-- know your vehicle once you've made it as safe as possible for you and other drivers, so that you can feel confident when you're behind the wheel.

3. Rectify any physical issues you may have that could hinder your driving ability-- You can accomplish this by:

• Having your vision checked annually. Get corrective lenses that are up-to-date if you need them. Remember to keep your windows and mirrors clean, and turn the brightness setting up on your dashboard's instrument panel-- especially at night.
• Having your hearing checked annually. If you have hearing aids, remember to keep them on when you're driving.
