Driving Skills Evaluation - Support When It Matters Most

Smarter. Safer. On Your Schedule.

Caring for someone with dementia or memory difficulties often means making tough decisions—including whether driving is still safe. The Ablaze Driving School’s Skills Evaluation offers a compassionate and professional way to better understand a loved one’s driving abilities without judgment or pressure.

If an evaluation points toward a refresher, our mature-driver options can help: the RoadWise Online Driver Program, the RoadWise In-Class Program, and our course for Adults 55+.
