Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada (VLRC)

Senior Care Path Summary

Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada serves seniors and people at any age who are living with vision loss and want to remain independent at home. Their certified specialists provide crisis response support for those newly experiencing vision loss, helping restore confidence with basic daily tasks like preparing meals, reading medication labels, and safely navigating indoors and outdoors.

VLRC's Primary Services focus on short-term independence goals, including making the most of remaining vision for household tasks. Their Specialized Services help clients achieve bigger goals, such as full independence at home, confident navigation in the community, and mastery of assistive technology. Client navigators also guide seniors through VLRC services and other health and community supports available to them.

The organization offers concentrated programs designed with provincial health partners to fill gaps in care across Canada. Seniors experiencing sudden vision loss can access immediate crisis response and rehabilitation. VLRC also provides free disability benefits navigation through their GAIN Program, helping older adults understand and apply for provincial and federal supports they may qualify for.

Available in both English and French, VLRC holds CARF Canada accreditation and operates as a registered charity. Seniors can be referred by healthcare professionals or can self-refer to access services tailored to their independence goals and vision-loss challenges.
