Great Lakes Caring is now offering Low Vision Care— a revolutionary and innovative program available for treating low vision patients. This Medicare-covered program represents an incredible new option for patients who are losing their independent lifestyle to the devastating effects of degenerative eye disease and is the first of its kind offered by any home health company in the Midwest.
“More and more seniors today would rather live independently in their own homes,” says William Deary, CEO of Great Lakes Caring. “By utilizing advanced new programs like Low Vision Care, we can give those whose daily lives have been altered by progressively worsening eye sight the ability to continue to live safely and healthfully in their own homes.”
Low Vision Care was developed by clinicians to restore the quality of life once enjoyed by patients with low vision. It uses simple household guides, techniques, safety protocols and aid devices to help individuals triumph over troublesome vision hurdles, like low-contrast items, lowly lit areas of the home or small print on medicine bottles. With the Low Vision Care program from Great Lakes Caring, patients who cannot improve their eyesight will be able to improve the world around them, making it easier to see and allowing them to retain a superior quality of life with the independence they wish to keep.
