May Is Older Americans Month

This year's theme is Working Together for Strong, Healthy and Supportive Communities. In keeping with this theme, Senior Site is launching the Senior Site Agency of the Month, which will highlight the importance of strong and supportive services for older persons with vision loss. Our first agency is the OASIS (Older Alabamians System of Information and Services) program in Alabama.

I am interested in finding out about living independently with vision loss. Are there any services available that can help me learn some new techiques for cooking or housekeeping?
