No appointments are necessary. Walk-Ins are welcome.
What are "CarFit Checkups"? CarFit Checkups are provided by Crestwood Therapy Services through the CarFit program, which was created by the American Society on Aging and developed in collaboration with AARP, the American Automobile Association and the American Occupational Therapy Association. Its purpose is to help older drivers find out how well their vehicles “fit” them, demonstrate ways to improve comfort and safety, and promote conversations about driver safety and community mobility.
The checkups show aging drivers how they can adjust different things in their own cars to be fitted specifically to their bodies and their individual health care needs.
Through the CarFit Checkups, drivers will:
- Improve their safety by ensuring that their cars are properly adjusted for them using the CarFit 12-point checklist. Review 12 key areas of the fit to the car such as adequate space from the steering wheel, proper seat belt use, and properly adjusted head restraints.
- Learn how to use and adjust safety devices to best meet their needs
Each checkup takes about 20 minutes— this is not a driving test or mechanical inspection.
Join us for the free CarFit checkups, free bone density screenings, and free vein screenings!
County Line Family Practice is located at 12100 County Line Road; Suite A-2, Madison, Alabama 35756 (in the Publix Shopping Center).
