MAB’s Vision Rehabilitation Specialists have completed extensive training in low vision rehabilitation, case management, and co-morbidities associated with vision loss. MAB staff also includes Occupational Therapists (OT) trained in vision rehabilitation.
Our model:
- Supports aging in place while assuring continued participation in community life
- Assists older adults and their caregivers to maintain optimal independent living as well as to support independence among seniors who lack a support network
- Creates a flexible delivery system to serve individuals with an extensive range of health care needs, with an emphasis on fall prevention and disease management
- Creates linkages with eye care professionals and other health care providers
- Offers case management and consumer directed service delivery aimed at maximizing independence and reducing the need for more extensive and costly care
MAB receives referrals from ophthalmologists, optometrists, primary care providers, hospitals, Area Agencies on Aging, Senior Care Options plans, Aging Service Access Points, Councils on Aging, housing coordinators, social service agencies, families, friends and individuals. We also offer educational presentations and in-services for providers and community organizations interested in learn to recognize vision loss and make referrals to vision rehabilitation services.

"There is so much paperwork in this world and so many deadlines to meet…financial aid forms, tax returns, health insurance. I’m a single parent and a working professional. My volunteer enables me to live as any other adult lives, without compromising my privacy, without revealing to friends and family the content of my bank account or how much is in my paycheck."
