Unmet needs and barriers to service delivery for the blind and visually impaired elderly

DE Biegel, MK Petchers, A Snyder and B Beisgen

Reported is a state-wide survey of aging and blindness agencies. Shown by the findings was that a large percentage of aging agencies are not addressing the needs of the aging blind population. In addition, the lack of interaction between the two systems is a major service delivery barrier. Suggested by the data was the need for improvement in understanding the needs, resources, and areas of expertise of each system, with additional training and better communications between the systems being especially important.
