Beyond Driving with Dignity
Geriatric Care Managers Barbara Herrington and Stacie Cleveland, and Care Manager Assistant Kate Svoboda have successfully completed an intensive training program and are now certified as “Beyond Driving with Dignity” professionals.
The “Beyond Driving with Dignity” professional certification program has been designed to arm qualifying professionals from across the United States and Canada with tools necessary to help older drivers and their families work through the complicated issue of age-related diminishing driving skills.
Having received this certification, Herrington, Cleveland and Svoboda are now well-suited to provide older drivers and their families with a very specific program that will help make decisions on how to keep the older driver safe.

We look forward to helping families initiate conversations about safe driving while also assisting with determining solutions that satisfy everyone involved. “
