Driving and Dementia: Balancing Safety, Independence, and Dignity

Driving and Dementia: Balancing Safety, Independence, and Dignity is an online workshop designed to help family and friend caregivers better understand the challenges that arise when a person living with dementia continues to drive. Hawaiʻi‑based experts will explain how cognitive, visual, and motor changes influence driving ability, highlight warning signs of unsafe driving, and offer practical strategies for approaching difficult conversations with compassion and respect. Participants will gain insight into why driving is closely tied to identity and autonomy, and how to navigate these transitions while preserving the dignity of their loved ones. The workshop also provides guidance on available resources, next steps, and ways caregivers can feel more confident and supported throughout the process. Presenters include Dr. Gina Fujikami, Division Chief of Geriatrics at The Queen’s Medical Center, and Ivy Castellanos, Director of Programs at the Alzheimer’s Association Hawaiʻi Chapter.
