HandS On EyeCare

Hands On Resident Care Services... House Calls?

Elderly patients have eye care needs for which traditional eye care offices are not able to accommodate. Often the elderly need more time, accommodations, and special attention to conditions common to them. Hands On EyeCare takes a unique and personal approach to providing optimum primary eye care to the homebound, mobility restricted, and anyone else. A “hands-on” approach is taken in that, we come to the patients and take the time necessary to diagnose and treat their ocular ailments; all with up-to-date equipment which is customized for providing such care with little discomfort to the patient. Therefore, we are not limited to the patients mobility instead we adapt to their needs.

Poor vision can lead to:

Decreased mobility
Poor mood and increased irritability
Quicker deterioration in physical and mental health
Increased falls
Inability to enjoy hobbies

The older we get the more important vision becomes to us. Sometimes a simple pair of glasses could make all the difference as far as quality of life is concerned. Such assistance makes life easier for our seniors, their caregivers, and loved ones.

Poor eye health can lead to poor vision and can be caused by:

High Blood Pressure
Arthritis
Muliple Sclerosis
Diabetes
Certain Cancers
Gastrointestinal Disease
Stroke
Medications use and medication side effects

It has been estimated that approximately 1 out of every 3 nursing home residents is severely visually impaired. These realities present a unique and often obscure challenge to many care givers. These facts show just how important one of our most overlooked but prized possessions, our eyes, are.

Good vision and proper eye health can empower freedom and independence which can be appreciated in a very special and unique manner – optimal appreciation of the gift of sight is what we strive to provide. Whether it’s the need for glasses, medical eye attention, or just a check up, we’ll be there with hands-on care giving our patients an opportunity to enhance their view of the world.

We see patients in a manner which is free and non-taxing on the hosting facility. Remember, we accept Medicare, most forms of Medicaid, private insurance, and private pay.
