the aging process, communica
tion skills, community re
sources, activities of daily living,
health care decisions for caregiv
ers and care receivers, stress
management for caregivers, and
adult protective services. Each
VIP received a Resource Director

respective counties in sharing
with caregivers and a volunteer
manual notebook. Planning
Ahead for Elder Care. The elder
care recruiter training is funded
by the Kate B. Reynolds Health
Care Trust
According to Dr. Lloyd, this
program sneds volunteers out
Into the community to locate un
paid caregivers of dependent
older adults. The volunteers then
share Information about caregiv
ing techniques and community
resources for caregivers. The
program is unique in that these
counties have joined together to
make the most of their resources
and created the directory for the
Albemarle area.
“One of the most important
things for the VIPs to do is to
identify or find someone who is a
' caregiver and link them to aging
services and that one contact
can really change someone’s
life,” said Ms. Hollenbach.

SCREENING FOR OLDER DRIVERS
When older drivers have auto accidents, the reason is often what they
can — or can't — see. A recent study found that older drivers with a
restricted useful field of vision (UFOV) are three to four times more
likely to have auto accidents in intersections.
The UFOV is the visual space in which a person can respond quickly
to visual stimuli, such as an oncoming car. Researchers measured the
subjects’ UFOV with a visual attention analyzer, a computerized instru
ment that tests how fast the person sees something and reacts to it
The screening accurately identified risk and nonrisk drivers in neatly 85
percent of cases.
Interesting result: many of the subjects who had failed* the UFOV
test had no record of reported accidents. Researchers suggest that older
drivers with vision problems modify their driving habits, avoiding heavy
traffic, night driving and such.
