Seniors and Transit: Keeping Your Elders Safe

Is it time for your older parent to stop driving? This is an important safety issue since there are several risk factors of aging that can affect driving ability. Find out the dangerous risk factors associated with seniors and transit from Senior Helpers, your national source for dependable in-home senior care services.

Vision Problems & Hearing Loss

As aging occurs, many seniors lose the ability to correctly judge speed, depth perception, and may experience significant problems with night vision. Many seniors also may have hearing impairments and have difficulty hearing sounds like honking, sirens, or a child’s bicycle bell.

Medications

Certain medications may cause drowsiness and should not be taken before driving. Some senior citizens take several medications and may not realize that some may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or difficulty operating a vehicle.

Dementia or Mental Impairment

These conditions can make driving and transit very dangerous for senior citizens since it may cause delayed reactions.

“As a Child of a Senior Citizen Parent, What are My Options?”

As an adult child of a senior citizen, you can’t always be there for your parents to depend on for transportation. Senior Helpers can offer in-home senior care options for your elderly parents or loved ones whenever they need it, whether it’s only a few times a week or on a daily basis.
