Visual Impairments

Home Healthcare by Black Stone makes sure that home is a safe environment for the best care possible when a patient suffers from visual impairments.

An occupational therapist will work with the patient to:

• Make the most of his or her remaining vision while in his or her home (Low Vision Program available)
• Alter items to provide high contrast for ease of use
• Increase safety by removing rugs and increasing lighting
• Educate on how to compensate for the loss of vision through other senses
• Recommend and train on assistive devices to perform activities of daily living
• Maintain quality of life at home even with visual impairments

Benefits of the program include:

• Increased patient function in the home
• Increased home safety
