How could someone who is 84 years old with dementia be allowed to drive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on their: Mmse level , if it is 20 or less than i tell his family not to permit him to drive. Since this can change any time people, with diagnoses need to have ongoing follow up and their family need to pay attention to any changes.
