Early Onset Alzheimer's: Driving and staying home alone

We were referred to a rehabilitation center for a driving evaluation that involved a set of cognitive tests and a driving test. We received a written set of suggestions including: drive only in familiar areas, drive during the day during non-rush hours. My husband gets satisfaction from driving to his exercise classes, the grocery and hardware stores and to our son's house and seems pretty confident and safe.

Welcome to Connect, @80now. As both you and @sueinmn state, non-family assessment in both verbal and written forms are really helpful. I'm glad that your husband is still able to drive in familiar areas. Does he have to return for regular driving evaluations now?
