Family caregivers have a lot on their plates and the support they provide is essential—whether it is assistance with transportation, healthcare, or daily activities. Did you know that Safe Mobility for Life offers free resources to help caregivers address the transportation needs of their loved ones? All the tools you need to help them maintain independence and quality of life, even when driving is no longer an option, can be found at fdot.info/caregiving, including:
✅ How to Start a Conversation about Safe Driving Concerns. Safe Mobility for Life’s Families & Caregivers Brochure provides helpful tips and talking points to start this important conversation.
✅Exploring FindaRideFlorida.org to Find Transportation Options. This user-friendly website allows you to enter a starting location and destination to find transportation service providers that meet your loved one’s individual needs.
✅Addressing Memory Concerns and Driving. Driving is a complex activity that requires a number of cognitive skills, which can naturally decline as we age. When memory loss becomes a concern, our Transportation for People with Memory Loss: Tips for Families and Caregivers Brochure can help you recognize warning signs and identify reliable alternatives.
