Keeping Us Safe

The teleconference is scheduled for 1PM (EST) on November 13, 2014.

The ‘Beyond Driving with Dignity’ program provides concerned families with the missing link between their desire to bring the driving issue to a peaceful resolution, and their ability to actually do so.

Matthews joins Lisa Profio, LPN, who has been providing Keeping Us Safe’s “self-assessment program for older drivers” as part of the University Hospitals-Parma Medical Center’s Elder Center’s service offerings since February, 2012.

Gurwell will be facilitating a discussion centered on Keeping Us Safe’s “Bringing a Peaceful Resolve to Complex and Sensitive Senior Driving Issues” presentation.

Keeping Us Safe is a national organization that provides services to older drivers and their concerned families as they face the emotional and delicate issue of a loved-one’s diminished driving skills as a result of the aging process.

Keeping Us Safe's ‘Beyond Driving with Dignity’ program provides concerned families with the missing link between their desire to bring a loved one's driving concerns to a peaceful resolution, and their ability to actually do so.

Michiana would like to welcome “Beyond Driving with Dignity” to our area. This is a self-assessment program for the older driver to allow THEM to decide when to move from the driver’s seat to the passenger’s seat, when THEY are ready.

Certification in the Beyond Driving with Dignity program is designed to be a common-sense approach to facilitate (and often times mediate!) rational, common-sense driving-related solutions based on tangible facts and personal observations.

The awards ceremony was put together to recognize and honor older drivers that, as the result of age-related diminished driving skills, have made a voluntary decision to retire from their driving career.

Having received this certification, Nafus is now well-suited to provide older drivers and their families with a very specific program that will help make decisions on how to keep the older driver safe.
