    My Grandmothers story

    My Grandmother should not have been driving for quite some time but, she was stubborn and the family didn't know how to stop her. I wish would would have had some resources at the time to assist us because she ran over a young man on a motorcycle and now he is paralyzed from the waist down. We all feel so terrible and of course wish we would have put our foot down before the horrible accident. If this story helps even ONE family find the courage to get help or take the keys away from a senior that should not be driving, it will be worth it.

    That story really is an eye opener! It shows just how very important it is to stress to family members that safety is a huge concern not only for their loved one, but for others.
