She's been driving at night and left my sister's house after dropping her off, but must have taken a wrong turn or two and not looked at signs. She actually almost hit another car turning on a narrow road. She can't tell us how she ended up there and doesn't seem phased by the fact that somebody had to drive her home.

To be fair, these are back roads in the country with no streetlights in the winter and these signs could be obscured by snow banks. But I worry that this is the beginning of her decline and how to manage her if things change. She's not owning up to what happened, if she even acknowledges the issue at all. which is also concerning.

I don't want my mom to lose her license, which gives her freedom, but I also don't want her to hurt others while driving. Also, government assistance and programs in our rural area are hard to come by. I can't financially support her or pay for a home, and she still has a mortgage to pay off. But she does have a job now, I can see her bank account, and she's doing well financially.

But I live hundreds of miles from home and can't really watch her, and my sister has two young kids and a full-time job. I also don't know if I can push for her healthcare team or psychiatrist to re-evaluate her and her meds. Are there any legal ways I can keep her safe, like getting power of attorney or conservatorship?

How much should I intervene here and put my foot down about certain things like driving? And what are the basic measures and best practices for caring for an aging parent in decline? Signed, trying to do my best as my mother sunsets.

Yeah, I like that. All sound advice. Now, regarding the driving, Pam said that this is very concerning. And yeah, clearly we strongly agree. Pam said that driving is perhaps one of the most difficult issues for aging seniors and their families to deal with because, of course, giving up driving. is often the beginning of a loss of independence, so she really gets it.

But you obviously don't want something to happen to your mom or something to happen to somebody else because of your mom, just because nobody wants to really take this issue on. So Pam did have a few great ideas here. First of all, I had never heard of this, but several of the larger auto insurance companies apparently have these senior driver evaluation programs.
