Stage 5: Moderately severe cognitive decline
(Moderate or mid-stage Alzheimer's disease)
She should not be driving and is a significant hazard to others.

I remember reading if you take away a car, you have to offer something in return such as you will do all her driving for her if she want to continue living with you. She might agree with that. Set certain places you will take her, don't give her carte blanche, I learned that the hard way with my parents.

Has she been evaluated by her doctor as to her fitness to drive? Perhaps more importantly, will you allow her to drive your children around? If not, that's your answer, isn't it?
