Keeping Older Adults Safe on the Road and in their Homes

As the baby boomer generation ages, there are more senior drivers on the road than ever before. And it’s a difficult conversation to have when it’s no longer safe for them to drive. “Driving retirement” is a normal part of aging, but how do you know when it’s time to take away the keys? And what other steps should you take to keep your loved ones safe, not only on the road but also in their homes?

On the next Mayo Clinic Radio program, Dr. Ericka Tung, a Mayo Clinic internist and geriatrician, will discuss safety for older adults.
