One of the families' most difficult conversations is discussing when a parent should stop driving. While it's a necessary decision for everyone's safety, it often feels like a loss of independence for the parent.

According to a study published by AARP, about 60% of older adults report feeling a loss of independence when they stop driving. This highlights the emotional and practical impact of this transition. But losing the ability to drive doesn’t mean losing freedom.

At ThriveWell At Home, our compassionate, highly trained caregivers, known as ThriveWell Champions, offer more than just in-home care. They provide transportation to appointments, errands, and social activities, ensuring your loved one remains active, connected, and independent—without the risks of driving.

By welcoming a ThriveWell Champion into your family’s care plan, you provide safety and support and help preserve your parent’s sense of freedom. Let us guide your family through this important transition with confidence and care.
