Considering Membership?

You should become a Welcome Homes Residential Services member because:

  • 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.

  • Vision loss adds complexity to the challenges of successful aging.

  • 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.
