I have a question....as I said earlier Mom turns 92 this month and still drives. How does one determine when she needs to put down the car keys, short of an accident? Assuming she is legally allowed to continue (I do need to research this).

Is it possible to tag alone on one of her visits to the doctor and ask? That is where we got with dad... problem is there are some doctor/patient privacy issues you will have to dance around (why you can't just pick up the phone and ask the doctor about her condition) at least that is how it is in Cali.
Mom and dad are (were) on Kaiser and even thou they were there weekly for this and that they only saw the doctors for a few minutes and it never occurred to the doctors that dad was driving them there or to test him for dementia.
