Transportation is vital to maintaining independence and quality of life, but for people with dementia, it requires careful consideration and planning. From assessing driving abilities to exploring alternative transport options, supporting individuals with dementia in their mobility is crucial for their well-being and safety. Dementia-friendly transportation systems, increased awareness, and innovative technologies can help mitigate challenges and improve the mobility of those with dementia.
