What is the process for applying for services?
Referrals can be received by mail or phone; from doctors, health care providers, family members, friends or individuals themselves.
- Speak to the Intake Coordinator, Andrea Hershberg, who will provide a brief overview of services available to help you or a loved one.
- A certified instructor will call to schedule a home visit and get directions to your home.
- An assessment will be conducted to identify your goals and set a plan of action in place. A low vision evaluation will also be conducted to determine if magnification will be helpful.
- Our service is client-driven. Ongoing home visits will occur until all options have been explored, unless you choose otherwise.
