At Angel Hearts Health Care Services LLC, we’ve had the opportunity to assist patients with a variety of conditions at our Group Home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. This includes patients with varying levels of vision loss and impairments.
If you’re currently caring for a loved one with vision loss or if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to assist a blind person, these tips will help you serve them better.
Dos of Assistance
- DO introduce yourself and ask the person if he needs assistance.
- DO assist if it is requested.
- DO respect the wishes of the person who is blind.
- DO treat Blind people as individuals. They each have their strengths and weaknesses, just like everyone else.
Don’ts of Assistance
- DON’T shout when you speak. They can’t see but often have a fine hearing.
- DON’T be afraid to use words like “blind” or “see.”
- DON’T insist upon trying to help if your offer of assistance is declined.
- DON’T grab the person you are guiding by the hand, arm, or shoulder and try to steer him.
