Welcome Homes Residential Services is here to help...

We have more than 50 years of experience in serving people who are blind or visually impaired. We are uniquely qualified to help your residents deal with emotional changes, supply information and clear up the misunderstandings and misconceptions associated with vision loss.

Welcome Homes visits individuals in their home settings and offers support not only to the Visually Impaired and blind, but also to the staff of residential living sites.

  • Vision loss is the most frequently occurring disability among older adults.
  • Vision loss has a profound impact on the quality of life and independence of older adults.
  • The feeling among residents that because nothing can medically be done, being independent and active is impossible.
  • You want to offer the services that the older adult population needs and desires.

Have you noticed:

  • Stereotypical thinking by yourself or you staff about the prescribed roles for older adults who are blind or visually impaired?
  • A belief among your residents that vision loss is an inevitable part of the aging process and therefore there is no point in seeking vision services?

  • A conclusion among residents because nothing can be done medically that being active and independant is impossible?
  • Welcome homes is uniquely qualified to help residents deal with the emotional changes, physical challenges and misconceptions that accompany vision loss.

Welcome Homes will:

  • Help your residents accept their vision loss and remain independent and active.
  • Help you provide a positive, safe and secure living environment for your residents with varying stages of vision loss.

  • Position you ahead of other residential settings in your area.

  • Increase your marketability as a proactive residential setting in meeting the changing needs of today's older adults.
