No that’s just finding someone to blame. Yes, the family should be first to notice a problem. Yes, family should do the right thing. Yes, family should help their parents maintain independence. But passing the buck to family is bs. Not everyone has family. Not everyone has family nearby. Not everyone has family who can help. And get this, even non-elderly can be incapacitated or otherwise unable to drive

We as society are equally complicit in not identifying when driving privileges should be revoked and not supporting alternatives. It takes a village to help someone age in dignity and we all are that village

Hell yeah. Number one problem is car dependency!
