In light of last month’s Farmers Market tragedy in which an elderly man drove through a crowd of people, killing 10 and injuring close to 80 people, a local organization will address senior citizens and their driving.
The Center for Healthy Aging in Santa Monica is offering a free, two-hour session on Wednesday, Aug. 13, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., for family members and care-givers who are concerned with the ability of their older relative to continue driving.
The class will address a number of topics, including learning to spot signs of trouble, learning to discuss driving concerns with older relatives, understanding the older person’s resistance, helping make alternate plans for getting around and learning where to get help.
The meeting will be held at the Ken Edwards Center on 1527 Fourth St. For reservations, call (310) 576-2550, ext. 363. Free parking will be available at the center. Pico Youth center celebrates itself
