Seniors and driving

We are the best center for rehabilitation Somerset County has to offer as we specialize in helping our senior citizens maintain their abilities to a 100%, our compromise for three decades has been to provide the best service to our senior in order for them to keep a fulfilled life. 

Aging unfortunately is unstoppable and we all wish there was a way to put a stop to the clock in you and enjoy longer lives with all the abilities you have when in your prime, with the passing of time there are certain things that remain untouched such as your sense of humor, your taste for music and many other things that you came to develop as part of you with time yet your senses to fully enjoy all of these start a process of decay after you reach a certain age, how soon you reach that point depends on what level of care you take of yourself in your early years, however this decay will reach all of us at some point and with the loss of sharpness in all of our senses comes a lower level of proficiency in activities that we regularly take for granted and we use in our everyday lives such as driving.

Driving Is Essential Driving is one of the activities that apart from living by themselves senior citizens tend to associate with the feeling of freedom as they can take their car and go anywhere they want and spend as long as they want in the place of their choice, yet there is a point in everyone’s life that driving is no longer a good idea to carry on with as time has done its job in slowing down everything in the senior citizen and unfortunately this cannot be avoided, senior citizens want to ignore the suggestion of not driving on their own everywhere but with time is something that has to be done for their own safety and those who are around them while they drive.

Senior citizens regularly are very focused as they never really developed the negative habit of texting and driving or using any electronic while they perform the task of driving unfortunately senior citizens are limited by their physical abilities, senior citizens show a decay in several very important aspects that must be considered.

Possible LimitationsSlower reflexes: response time is slower as the senses are no longer as sharp as they were before, the connection between eyes, ears and motion are slower therefore the amount of time the senior will take to move from harm is longer.

Vision issues: sight is affected as the cornea is no longer as sensitive as it was, it process light slower therefore the reaction of the brain to send the impulse for a reaction is slower.

Taking medications: medications for senior citizens may affect their senses, it can also make the patient feel sleepy.
