"I am 100 percent delighted with Kursten, one of Ensight’s occupational therapists and Mike, one of Ensight’s Orientation & Mobility Specialists. Mike got the city of Lakewood to add audible beeps at my crosswalk. He came again and then called again to get them to make it louder. He was so sweet and followed up with a call to me when he was in Crested Butte. They both were. [Kursten helped with her cooking and ironing tasks so she can do them independently.] They are just wonderful. They did more than I imagined they could and they exceeded my expectations.”
During this ongoing pandemic crisis, Ensight’s team has continued to provide essential training, counseling, support groups and presentations through zoom, regular reassurance calls to our patients and consumers and we are assisting all patients in need of assistive technology and technology training. Our team has created videos with lessons on skills training and put balance exercises on our website so people can practice what they learned from our rehabilitation team. We have adapted!
We are now seeing patients again by appointment only, at all locations. Last month, Ensight held 2 Onsite clinics in Grand Junction at the Center for Independence. During these clinics, Ensight provided 20 patients with low vision assessments and training as well as making sure they have the appropriate tools to help them be independent.
As a member of the board of directors of the Ensight Skills Center, I can attest to the amazing difference that Ensight is making in empowering independence for those impacted by vision loss. Your support is critical to our continued success!
