Hello MNetters who have BTDT: my mum has just been told she can't drive any more. She is fiercely independent, not suffering from (noticeable) cognitive decline, and is financially OK. (Not rolling in it, but not struggling either.) She lives on her own in a house just outside a small town (good neighbours, has lived there for decades), and has a tiny bit of help with a cleaning lady once a week and someone to mow her lawn in the summer.
She is effectively already quite disabled as she is not able to walk much (she doesn't have a wheelchair as she is fiercely resistant to them, and can move around the house, and was driving everywhere else and parking right outside doors). Her eyesight is now so bad she is no longer allowed to drive.
What should we be considering? How can we help her?
DSis is wondering if she should be supporting her to move somewhere else (transport links, perhaps one of those retirement communities so she has easy access to people), but I am wondering whether living in a familiar house with failing eyesight would be better. In any event: what else should we be thinking of? Thank you for help and experience!
