Protect Your Client’s Eyesight and Your Own
Imagine seeing your entire life through a
dirty window. Imagine how complicated
even the simplest activities of daily living
would be. For the 22 million Americans
40 years of age and older with cataracts,
it’s a reality they face each day.
June is National Cataract Prevention
Month and a great time for you and your
client to schedule an eye exam.
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens,
blocking light and blurring vision. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in
the United States. While their exact
cause is unknown, the risk of developing
cataracts increases with
age.
The key to
healthy vision
is regular eye exams. The American Optometric Association recommends semiannual eye examinations for adults ages
18 to 60 and annual examinations for
adults 61 and older.
Writer John Keats once said, “a thing of
beauty is a joy forever.” It’s a lot harder
to notice beauty through cloudy vision!
Help protect your and your client’s vision
by taking care of “both of your eyes.”

Anna B
It’s not here yet, but one of our outstanding
live-in CAREGivers is closing in on her tenth
anniversary with Home Instead Senior Care.
Come December, Anna B will have clocked
an entire decade with the agency. And in
that time, she has done more than provide a
superior level of care. She has bonded with
her clients, she has provided solace and
security to their families, and she never fails
to greet everyone with a smile!
The thing that is most striking about Anna is
her gentle way. To watch her speak to a
client is very reminiscent of how a mother
or a grandmother would address a young
child. But what’s even more amazing is that
Anna marries this kindness with reverence,
no matter who she interacts with. She has
the gift of making people feel both protected and respected within the space of a single
breath. Everyone should have the experience of meeting Anna.
Upon the end of Anna’s most recent assignment, she stopped by the office and shared
her desire to do more for the family she had
grown to love. Anna had already gone above
and beyond at every turn. If her compassion
is not her defining trait, then it is definitely
her humility. She does what she does for
personal reward and not for personal glory.
But that doesn’t mean that we can’t take a
few moments to salute her right here!
Anna starts a new job with a new client
next week. The consensus around the office
is that Anna is going to fall in love with this
family. And what’s even more certain? They
will fall in love with her! Anna is that special
person that everyone adores. We wish her
luck (not that she needs it!), and we wish
her the best (because she is!).
