THIS EVENT HAS ENDED.
Docent-guided visit to the Environmental Learning Center including Documentary in the Auditorium, Art Gallery, Aquaria, estuary encounter (Touch tank) and butterfly garden at the Rookery Bay (300 Tower Rd, Naples, FL 34113)
I called Rosa today to offer a home visit – training had been on hold due to her other health and family commitments. Rosa appreciated the offer as she was having a particularly hard day coping with her vision loss and managing her daily tasks. Rosa expressed feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. She needed to talk. After listening and empathizing with her situation, I suggested that she resume her attendance with the weekly support group- to share her frustrations with her peers. However, Rosa had already been attending on a weekly basis and excitedly rattled off accolades about several members who helped her in their own special way (their names have been changed to protect the group’s privacy). Just a few comments are mentioned below:
George is so insightful, articulate and always offers concrete solutions to every concern.
Rick has a way of making everyone in the group feel comfortable. His sense of humor about vision loss makes it less daunting.
Heather: We have become good friends outside of the group. She has become a huge support to me.
On the whole: “I love and need the group. I had no hope until I met Rick (Support Group Facilitator) and the group!”
