Safe and Sound: Navigating Older Driver Safety Awareness Week at Melody Living

Safety is paramount at Melody Living in Lake in the Hills. As we celebrate Older Driver Safety Awareness Week, we're committed to ensuring our residents remain safe while enjoying the freedom of mobility.

We understand the importance of older driver safety and offer a range of transportation options to meet our residents' needs. In this blog, we'll discuss the significance of maintaining safe driving practices as we age, the importance of regular vision testing, and how we provide transportation services to enhance the quality of life for our residents.
 
As we age, it's essential to stay informed about safe driving practices and make necessary adjustments to ensure safety on the road.

Regular vision testing is crucial as vision changes can affect driving safety. In fact, approximately 90% of the information needed for safe driving is visual.

Consider getting a car with additional safety features like backup cameras, lane assist, and blind spot monitors, if they are suitable for your driving needs. These features can enhance safety and confidence on the road. Visual acuity, depth perception, and peripheral vision may change as we age. Regular vision exams can identify these changes and allow for necessary adjustments.
