New Jersey, July 22, 2022- Senior Care Authority(R), an eldercare consulting and assisted living residential placement service, locally owned by David Stamberg, announced the launch of Beyond Driving with Dignity in Northern and Central New Jersey and Rockland County, New York. Beyond Driving with Dignity is a nationally recognized program that provides practical, real-life solutions to older drivers and their concerned families. The “Beyond Driving with Dignity” program is designed to save lives while simultaneously helping to ease the burden of the family as they find themselves faced with this very challenging issue.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 20 older adults (65+) are killed and almost 700 are injured in traffic crashes every day. The Beyond Driving with Dignity training and certification program was designed to help senior drivers and their families work through the complicated issue of age-related diminishing driving skills.
Beyond Driving with Dignity helps an older driver make a smooth transition from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat. The program also ensures that the individual can maintain as much independence as possible. Senior Care Authority’s David Stamberg wants to ensure that his clients and families receive guidance through the difficult decision of when a senior should cease driving. “While my specialty remains senior living placement assistance, the Beyond Driving with Dignity program allows me to offer even more help to a family. The “driving conversation” can be as difficult as the “assisted living” conversation. Being able to help someone’s Mom or Dad realize they are at an elevated risk to be in a car accident and that they should retire from driving not only keeps a peaceful family dynamic; it also keeps the roads safe,” according to Stamberg.
The founder of Beyond Driving with Dignity, Matt Gurwell, saw firsthand the need for a program of this kind while serving as an Ohio state trooper. He created the program to help families navigate what can be a difficult and emotional conversation, and ultimately to reduce the number of unnecessary and avoidable death notices state troopers have to deliver.
“Not all seniors need to stop driving, but many families aren’t sure when or how to make that decision for their loved ones,” said Gurwell, “Our program allows families to remove the emotional aspect from the conversation and make a decision together, based on the facts. We want a mutually-made decision with the senior.”
