Who We Are

Through services from the Older Blind Grant, seniors with severe visual impairment will receive help to adapt to the challenges of daily living, orientation and mobility, assistive communication and general adjustment services. Rehabilitation teachers provide in-depth home visits to evaluate the unique needs, skills and concerns of each senior and due to a post-assessment to assure that goals have been met after services have been provided.  The teacher sets independent living goals with the senior and writes an Independent Living Plan.

The service area also includes Bedford City, Forest, Gretna and Vinton.
