UR Vision Resources

UR Vision Resources

UR Vision Resources is our way of providing older and disabled adults with free support, resource connections and technology training.

Almost 20 million Americans, or 8 percent of the U.S. population, have visual impairments. Ranging from poor vision to blindness, visual impairments are one of the leading causes of loss of independence for people age 65 and older.

At UR Community Cares, we’re committed to helping vision-impaired individuals stay connected and independent. We are providing access to assistive technology and onsite support from trained volunteers. Together, we can make a difference!

Join Us for our Blind and Low Vision Support Group Meeting

Are you blind or experiencing low vision or blindness? Join us for a supportive and engaging meeting where we can share resources, experiences, and build a social circle.

Date: March 4th — every month on 1st Tuesday of the month
Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: 153 Spruce Street, Manchester, CT

The UR Vision Station is a hub for assistive technology and training, with hands-on assistance from our volunteers, to ensure participants can achieve their goals and lead independent lives.
