The program helps people like you in the North Bay area of San Francisco, CA, whose older family members may have impaired driving skills because of age.
This program is especially important today because of the increase in the number of individuals aged 70 or older with licenses. In 1997, 73% of that age group had licenses, but in 2019, that percentage had increased to 83%.
Did you know that the number of drivers aged 65+ increased by 60% between 2000 and 2016? And this number is expected to increase to even more by the year 2060.
The Beyond Driving with Dignity program was created in 2008 by Matt Gurwell, a retired Ohio State Trooper whose passion was to reduce preventable traffic accidents involving older drivers with age-related diminished driving ability.
The program’s mission is to reduce the mortality rate of older drivers through educational programs for both the drivers and their families.
Gurwell understood that many seniors found it difficult to give up driving because that meant a loss of independence. He also recognized that senior drivers were often unable or unwilling to assess their driving skills on their own.
This program serves as a way for older drivers and their families to decide whether the older individual can continue driving or needs to stop. When the decision is made for the older driver to retire from driving, this program can help the transition be smooth and successful.
The Beyond Driving with Dignity program has been launched in North Bay, San Francisco, CA, as one facet of Senior Care Authority, a franchise devoted to many aspects of eldercare to help seniors lead comfortable, happy lives. Founder and CEO, Frank Samson identified a need in the senior industry for a concierge approach to help families with senior members through challenging circumstances. The result was Senior Care Authority, which had its first location in Sonoma County, CA, in 2009.
