Senior Driving Seminar

Villa Ventura Senior Living Community and the Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City
are pleased to present the following seminar:

Aging and Changing: How Age Affects Driving

As we age, there are changes in our body which include visual changes and reaction time. Our senses may
grow weaker and we may experience joint stiffness. We can also experience changes in the way we process
information along with physical and mental side effects from medications. This community classroom presentation will help address these matters, along with what a person can do to accommodate for changes caused by aging. Techniques will be presented on how to keep physically and mentally fit for driving. Information will be presented on when to consider getting a professional driving evaluation in a caring, non-threatening environment. After the classroom presentation, a demonstration will be given in the parking lot of Villa Ventura about tools, techniques and assistive devices seniors can use to help accommodate for physical changes caused by aging. If you’re concerned about changes you’ve noticed in your driving or those of a loved one, this is an easy and safe way tobrush up on driving skills.
