@bookworm That was my biggest fear!
For those of you with parents experiencing dementia, make sure you take all keys and if there is a spouse or someone else who still drive drives make sure those keys are hidden. My great uncle’s wife started showing signs of dementia so much cousin finally told her she couldn’t drive after many protests. Fast forward, my aunt hadn’t driven in close to two years and her old car had been sitting in the back yard. My uncle went outside to get something out of that car and left the keys out, so she “decided “ she would go for a drive. My family had to call the police and after many hours they finally found her far away from the house,and the cops had to basically cut her off and force her off the road. She was driving on flats!!
I heard this story last week when I went up for her funeral which made me even more determined to take my grandmas keys. We have informed my grandmas sister that she cannot leave her keys lying around!
