CHICAGO - July 7, 2015 - PRLog -- Keeping Us Safe (Cleveland, Ohio) is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with Silver Dawn Senior Friendly Cities to bring the nationally recognized “Self-Assessment Program” for older drivers and their concerned families to the greater Chicago, Illinois area.

Silver Dawn Senior Friendly Cities (headquartered in Chicago) is an organization that trains key leaders within a given city or community to promote health and independence for their aging demographics.  Doing so allows the seniors to thrive socially and remain contributing members of the community for many years to come.

Co-founders of Silver Dawn Senior Friendly Cities, Tami Neumann and Catherine Braxton, were recently certified by Keeping Us Safe as “Beyond Driving with Dignity” Professionals.  With this training and certification, they are now armed with the tools necessary to help older drivers and their families work through the complicated issue of age-related diminishing driving skills.

Matt Gurwell, CEO of Keeping Us Safe, explains “Neumann and Braxton 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.  As the founders of Silver Dawn Senior Friendly Cities, Neumann and Braxton will begin providing the “Beyond Driving with Dignity” program throughout the greater Chicago area effective immediately.”

“The ‘Beyond Driving with Dignity’ program provides families with a solution to their concerns, offering new-relief about a loved-one’s safe driving abilities as they relate to the natural aging process”, explains Neumann.

Certification in the Beyond Driving with Dignity program is designed to be a common-sense approach to facilitate (and often times mediate!) rational, common-sense driving-related solutions based on tangible facts and personal observations.

Braxton explains that “Keeping Us Safe’s ‘self-assessment program” for older drivers provides concerned families with the missing link between their desire to bring the driving issue to a peaceful resolution, and their ability to actually do so.  As such, we are very excited to be able to offer this service to Chicago area residents."
