Abstract:
The number of people with vision loss increases; a large part of them is nursing home resident. Although the number of elderly with visual impairments is growing, little special attention is paid to this group. This is however urgently needed. Caregivers need to understand the limitations of visual impairment and how to cope with them. This can lead to better coordinated care. This article presents a literature overview about what conditions are essential for the quality of care for older people with visual impairments caused by eye-diseases (not by brain disorders). The results show that these conditions concern the process of care, communication and emotional support, support when moving, in providing structure, specific training of caregivers, and lighting provision. Practical tips and advice are given that can be used in nursing homes.
