For many people, driving oneself means independence and the ability to participate in a variety of activities. Dementia increasingly affects the ability to drive, but those affected often do not want to give up this form of mobility.
A new video by the Deutsche Alzheimer Gesellschaft (DAlzG), the German Alzheimer association, shows different ways of dealing with conflicts on this topic. The video contains a mixture of animated cartoons and interviews with family caregivers. It has been produced as a project of the initiative Demenz Partner (Germany’s “Dementia Friends” programme) and can be seen on the homepage www.demenz-partner.de and on the DAlzG YouTube channel www.youtube.com/c/DeutscheAlzheimerGesellschaftev. The video is in German, with subtitles in different languages created by YouTube.
