Help for older drivers and their families

Founded by retired Ohio State Trooper, Matt Gurwell, Keeping Us Safe is a national organization that provides practical, real-life solutions to older drivers and their families. "Beyond Driving with Dignity; The workbook for older drivers and their families" serves as the foundation of the family-centered "Beyond Driving with Dignity" program. 

For families that might benefit from third-party, impartial intervention in resolving this very delicate and sensitive issue, they offer Certified "Beyond Driving with Dignity" professionals. These individuals have been specially trained and certified in the "Enhanced Self-Assessment Program" for older drivers. 

 “Beyond Driving with Dignity” Professionals are deployed throughout the United States (including Diane Walz, owner of Good Life Care LLC (www.goodlifecare4u.com)  in the greater Sarasota/Bradenton area) and Canada. 

Keeping Us Safe and the “Beyond Driving with Dignity” program have been recognized by the NY Times, the Kiplinger Retirement Report, the Canadian Medical Association Journal, The Huffington Post, and the National Institute on Aging’s Alzheimer’s Disease Education and Referral Center. 

The "Beyond Driving with Dignity" program is designed to help older drivers with diminishing driving skills make a smooth transition from the driver's seat to the passenger seat without deterioration to their dignity, personal pride or independence. 

The programs are designed to save lives while simultaneously helping to ease the burden of the family as they find themselves faced with this very challenging issue. Matt has said many times before that as the founder of Keeping Us Safe, he would much rather have these difficult conversations now, rather than having a State Trooper knocking on your front door tomorrow.
