group philosophy is that hearing loss need not stop anyone from participating
in and enjoying a full life.

support, education, and encouragement for people who have low vision.
There is also a program of training that teaches residents to use the
word processors that give voice directions. Many residents prefer to
receive this instruction while their eyesight is still good, in preparation
for the day when they may not see well. Magnifying machines, computer-assisted
reading and writing, e-mail, and Internet access is provided in the
Douglas New Vision Center.
- Volunteer Programs - Volunteering is a
rewarding experience. It's also an excellent way to meet new residents
and have fun. Many Manor residents are involved in special-interest
and hobby groups, and participate in programs that involve Health Center
and Residential Living residents. Residents also enjoy volunteering
through the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program.
