by national care planning council from google every senior dreads the day they lose their independence by having to give up their driver s license the safety of the driver and the community may be at stake however it doesn t have to be that hard there are alternatives to driving to make the transition easier from the cdc reasons to give up a driver s license vision having issues seeing have prescription lenses make sure they are up to date before you make this decision consulting an optometrist about your vision is vital if you don t wear corrective lenses they may encourage you to do so an optometrist may also find other ocular issues such as cataracts or glaucoma cannot see clearly at night you may only need to restrict your driving to during the day focus having trouble focusing on the road a doctor may recommend other alternatives such as prescriptions response time response time is delayed consistently for long enough to cause issues hearing having issues hearing have a hearing aid get it checked to make sure it s tuned correctly and the batteries are working well if you don t wear a hearing aid you may consider looking into it visit a doctor about your hearing issues other alternatives such as wax blockage may be the reason you are having hearing issues tremors or limb weakness have tremors or weakness in your limbs this may impair your ability to stop or control the car safely prescription medication take regular prescription medication that may impair your judgement cause drowsiness or hallucinate visit a doctor there may be medication alternatives signs it s time to let go drifting into other lanes unable to merge increase in dents or dings in your vehicle increase in traffic incidences inability to properly judge how much space you need to brake unable to see the lines in the road increased fear trouble pushing the gas or brakes trouble turning the steering wheel having more close calls than you did when you were younger collisions with non moving objects sings barriers mailboxes parked vehicles how to surrender your driver s license this can be done at your local dmv however you will need a state issued id for other purposes your local dmv driver s license division may require you to make an appointment remember to have someone take you as when you leave you shouldn t drive as you no longer will have a valid license benefits of giving up your license the obvious benefit to giving up your driver s license is driver and community safety however many people don t realize how much it actually cost to have a vehicle when you re on a fixed income after retirement some welcome the much needed savings according to aaa s 2015 your driving costs study an average vehicle driven up to 15 000 miles a year costs 8 398 this cost includes things such as fuel tires maintenance and repairs taxes license registration fees insurance premiums depreciation interest financing depending on your driving record your vehicle size how often you drive it your costs can be higher than the average noted in the aaa study the cost broken down is about 725 a month what could you do with that extra money in your account alternatives so what can be done if driving is no longer an option public transportation buses every major and even most smaller cities have buses libraries and local city buildings usually carry schedules taxis this is more readily available in larger cities smaller cities usually have taxi services you just have to call for a pickup uber lyft much like a taxi service you have transportation at the palm of your hand with these apps for your smart phone walking most car rides are things down the street why not walk instead bicycle tricycle this is a low cost option for anyone who needs to go out tricycle offer more stability than tradition bicycles and are usually free standing tricycles also can accommodate a larger basket size so you can take your pet with you or tote around groceries paratransit many cities offer a paratransit option this means if you are unable to drive due to disability you can get picked up and dropped off for a small fee you will need to call your local transportation office to see if you qualify and set it up golf carts smaller towns or private communities often allow you to use golf carts or atvs to get around in town the benefit to this is most of them drive at a much slower pace some states will require you to have a license whether you are on public or private roads you should ask when you are at the dmv check with your local police or city for rules friends family transportation services most counties area on aging and senior centers can recommend transportation services for specific needs you can find their number online most city offices will

easy way to increase bone density sep 28 posted by national care planning council low bone density could mean you re at risk or already have osteoporosis as you get older osteoporosis can weigh on the mind and can be a bigger and bigger issue it s been proven that exercise and eating right can lead you in the right direction to keeping your bone density up and avoiding painful injuries later there is one fun easy way to increase bone density that almost anyone can do it s called a whole body vibration machine and it does exactly as it says http atomictoasters com 2012 04 what ever became of vibrating belt weight loss machines when we think of vibration machines many of us think about the picture above ladies in their one piece bathing suits getting shaken for a number of minutes in hopes to stay thin even though this ancient concept of the whole body vibration machine is the same technology has changed dramatically as well as the knowledge of how to shed fat and increase bone density where can i buy these machines these machines are available through fitness stores for purchase however you can purchase time at some gyms or beauty procedure locations some doctor offices that specialize in botox or laser type locations sites like amazon have whole vibration machines however beware there are machines that specialize in weight loss machines that specialize in increasing bone density and machines that focus on both the difference is achieved by the direction the machine vibrates this video discusses the differences between machines we do not encourage the purchase of this particular brand however it does show the difference and benefits between machines http youtu be a5tbroqeq3w what other benefits may these machines have advocates say that as little as 15 minutes a day of whole body vibration three times a week may aid weight loss burn fat improve flexibility enhance blood flow reduce muscle soreness after exercise build strength and decrease the stress hormone cortisol http www mayoclinic org healthy lifestyle fitness expert answers whole body vibration faq 20057958 http www sporlastic de de main diagnose arthrose galileo_a html to learn more about
