Where is a good place to live if one has low vision and can no longer drive? |
I am 45 yr old, single with Macular Degeneration. IT has progressed to the point where I no longer feel it is safe to a drive a car. I now depend on public transportation or my feet. I also need Voca Rehab since i no longer can preform my prev job duties. Honestly, I am going out my mind where I live now which is Modesto, Ca. Any advice I will appreciate. I have a counselor with Voca REhab here in Calif who is not doing her job and I feel that the rug has been pulled out from underneath me. I have talked to the comm of the blind in New Mexico and they seem to have their act together. I am thinking of moving to Sante Fe for Voca Rehab. Any input I will appreciate. Sue, I don't drive. I would think a smaller town, that has public transportation available to the disabled and elderly, would be a good choice. Or a city with defined neighborhoods and community centers, also with public transportation. Sue Honey: Your going Blind and I'm going to be in a Wheel chair, well we've both got problems. You sound like you got your problems solved. Go to Santa Fe, I've been through there and Was there for several days, it's nice. The weather is fair. I think you'll like it. |
