About the Program couple seated on bench

Does your parent's car have new dents or nicks? Does mentally reviewing the trip ahead of time help you when driving? When should a senior relinquish the keys or when should someone step in and remove them? How can you help your elderly neighbor remain free and engaged? The Golden Road: Today's Senior Drivers provides the tools you need in order to recognize, understand and confront these issues with deliberation and care. Packed with vital information about how to maintain mobility for seniors without compromising safety, The Golden Road takes an unblinking look at this sensitive topic and pays special attention to the powerful and positive role friends and family members can provide.
