Caring and Talking about Healthy Vision
Raskob-Paulus Caregiver Skills Lab
Vision care should be part of everyone’s preventative care yet many times it is overlooked. A study in 2021 completed by Eyewire found 1 in every 10 Americans had not had an eye exam in over 5 years. Awareness months are a great reminder for people to schedule appointments and create a plan with family and members of the care team. This will ensure you or your loved one have the support needed to follow through on the vision care plan. There are many reasons why people might not follow up with their vision care. Sometimes it can simply be not knowing how often one’s eyesight should be checked. It is crucial to follow up with your doctor to determine a timeline of how often your vision should be checked as every person is different. It
is recommended for people who do not have an underlying eye or other medical condition to have their eyes examined every two years. Limited in-home support can also cause people to postpone regular eye exams or procedures. Ensure coordination with family, friends, and in home care as you schedule your next eye appointment so that the necessary supports are in place. If you or your loved one need support when it comes to your vision care plan whether it is appointment accompaniment or post appointment in home care support, please contact PimaCare at Home for more information at ( 520) 305-3445.
RASKOB - PAULUS CAREGIVER TRAINING SKILLS LAB
PimaCare at Home provides caregivers with training in our Raskob-Paulus Caregiver Skills Lab . Many times, people receive training in settings that do not resemble the actual work environment.
