Here in California, the Department of Motor Vehicles lets you report someone you think is no longer a safe driver, and ask them to keep the source anonymous. See Medical Conditions and Traffic Safety.

Reporting them this way doesn't solve the problem of their losing independence, but it can help get an unsafe driver off the road, for their own protection and for the safety of others, without the driver necessarily blaming their family. Nevertheless, it's an awkward and unfortunate situation.
