This month’s client spotlight is on Audrey M. from Salem, NH.

Audrey is an active 92-year-old woman who loves to paint and cook. She was worried her declining vision would keep her from painting beautiful watercolors when a friend referred her to Future In Sight.

With the help of Future In Sight, a new lamp, and her energetic and positive attitude, Audrey has kept up with her hobbies!

To learn how Future In Sight’s services can help you or a loved one, visit: futureinsight.org/adultservices

PD: Audrey painting watercolor flowers with a lamp lighting her way.
