An elderly person could access the Elderly Care Ministry website by searching google, or using
the simple url that someone has pitched to them. It is easy to access. The font is large and easy to
read and understand. The services that are offered are online church, worship, and preaching
specifically geared toward the elderly. They are offered online for those who may be bed bound
or living in an assisted care facility. This allows elderly people ,who may otherwise not have
access to services like this, to connect with a community of like minded people.

One major area of information on this website that could be useful to an elderly
person is the article posted about living with vision loss. This article is presented in an
informative way with large font and is easy to understand. It presents key takeaways at
the beginning that I have listed next.
“Low vision is very prevalent in people over 60. 
People with visual impairments can learn adaptive strategies to cope and live
independently.
Vision loss impacts the entire family, not just the person experiencing the eye condition.”
An elderly person could use this information to educate themselves on how to live more
independently if vision loss happens to them. There are many articles on the NCOA
website like this one that could be helpful.
