Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

For those considering their elder drivers issues: https://www.npr.org/2026/03/23/nx-s1-5672445/older-drivers-licensing-safety https://www.npr.org/2026/03/24/nx-s1-5729024/older-drivers-children-hard-choices
The "good" news is that the Millenials will be far more computer-savvy as a demographic than the Boomers. And, technology will make having to leave the house less necessary. In the near future, drones may be dropping packages in the middle of remote North Dakota. I have a relative there who is a Pastor in a town where Amazon doesn't deliver and the nearest Target is 80 miles away. Autonomous cars will become better at both delivering goods and transporting people who can no longer drive (like the Wayz taxis in Scottsdale). Etc. War and conflicts (like in Ukraine/Russia and the middle east) forces advancements in technology, so the use of drones and robots for peace-time applications in commercial and personal use will be ramped up in surprising ways.
lealonnie1, sometimes those items aren't available in small town U.S.A. , except for Amazon only if the elder knows how to use a computer or cellphone.
I remember back in the day, catalog shopping was easy, one could either fill out the order form in the catalog and mail it, or call the catalog shopping phone number and a human would help you do the ordering. Then UPS would deliver the items in a couple of weeks.
This just infuriates me, as do some of the posts on this board. Just take the damn keys away. If you want to let your parents endanger themselves, that is one thing. But not taking away the keys or the car endangers everyone else on the road.
When we take away driving privileges to our older drivers we need to have a backup plan to help lessen that death grip on the car keys. At this moment in time, imagine if you could no longer drive. How would you get groceries, go to doctor appointments, visit friends, etc.? That is where a backup plan is needed. Is there a relative/younger friend who is available during the day to drive that elder? Does the community offer elder ride share buses? Does the local grocery and drug store have home delivery?
Today's newer vehicles have way too many distractions. It's like driving the family room/phone-booth down the highway. I kept my very old vehicle that doesn't have all those bells and whistles, and refuse to get a new car for that reason. I want all my attention on the road, and nothing else. Whenever I see on the news about an elder in a serious accident, I notice the vehicle they were driving was newer. So if an elder is still driving safely, let them keep that old vehicle, it will be much safer in the long run.
