Description
Colleen Peterson and co-authors test in 2023 a driving retirement program for families facing dementia. Giving up driving strains both the driver and kin who take over transport. The one-on-one program coaches families through planning, action, and adjustment at their own pace.
Seventeen care partners and sixteen retiring drivers join the early trial. Surveys at start, three months, and six months track strain and readiness over time. Caregiver strain and isolation scores fall by the six-month mark. Drivers report less loneliness, and talks confirm strong emotional support from the program.
