Abstract
This article presents the demographic characteristics of a large group of older people who are blind, briefly reviews the literature on caregiving to aging persons, and presents the concerns reported by 47 family members who have a spouse or parent who is blind. Changes in the reported concerns were measured before and after blind rehabilitation services were provided to the older persons.Keywords
