April 24, 2012 - PRLog -- (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada) - Keeping Us Safe is pleased to announce that Palisades on the Glen Retirement Community has been selected to host Canada’s Inaugural Class of the “Beyond Driving with Dignity” Professional Certification program, scheduled for May 17, 2012.  

Located on the Collegeway in the heart of Mississauga, Palisades on the Glen has become known as Mississauga’s finest retirement community.  “The high level of professional service they provide to their residents, combined with their commitment to excellence is what makes Palisades on the Glen the perfect venue for hosting Canada’s first Beyond Driving with Dignity certification class” says Matt Gurwell, Founder & CEO of Keeping Us Safe.

Grace Miksa, Retirement Leasing Consultant for Palisades on the Glen explains “Palisades on the Glen is very pleased to be partnering with Keeping Us Safe and The Silver Pages.  Palisades is always looking for ways to contribute and support our community, so of course Palisades welcomed the opportunity to host the “Beyond Driving with Dignity” certification course.”

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Keeping Us Safe’s “Beyond Driving with Dignity” Professional Certification program is recognized in the United States as a practical and affordable alternative to families who have found themselves concerned about an elderly parent’s safe driving ability.  The one-day training program was developed to arm qualifying professionals with the tools necessary to help older drivers and their families work through the complicated, sensitive and often-times emotional issue of age-related diminishing driving skills.  

Graduates of the program are then well-suited to provide older drivers and their families with a very specific program that will help them make appropriate decisions on how to keep the older driver safe as he or she progresses through the natural aging process.    

The “Beyond Driving with Dignity” Professional Certification program is designed to be a common-sense approach to help facilitate (and often times mediate!) rational, driving-related solutions based on tangible facts and personal observations.  “Beyond Driving with Dignity; The workbook for the families of older drivers” serves as the foundation of the certification program.  

“The goal of the Beyond Driving with Dignity program is to help keep seniors independent and driving for as long as possible, but when in the interest of safety a driving retirement becomes appropriate, we help the individual make a smooth transition from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat” says Gurwell.    

Situated on the grounds of the historic Glenerin Inn, Palisades on the Glen Retirement Community provides seniors with the option for a luxury living environment.  Learn more about Palisades on the Glen by visiting   http://www.retirementlifecommunities.com/index.php/palisa....    

The May 17, 2012 training session is being sponsored by The Silver Pages, a resource for caregivers, baby boomers, seniors and persons with disabilities.    

“Beyond Driving with Dignity” professionals receive annual in-service trainings and are required to meet strict standards of professionalism to maintain their certification.  For more information on the program visit http://www.keepingussafe.org.
