biographies, too.
One thing Juanita
wanted to share was
her gratitude for the
Senior Options
program. She doesn’t
know how she would be
able to live as well as
she does without their
assistance!
Juanita is also
hearing impaired. Yet
despite the challenges
that she faces, she is
one of the most positive
and pleasant people we
have ever met. We
could all learn a valua-
ble lesson from the way
she approaches life.
Juanita did tell us
she would like to meet
others who are deaf/
blind. She would love
to find that special kind
of friendship.
Patron interviews have
returned! Juanita
Sanchez graciously
offered to let us spend
some time with her and
what a pleasure it was.
Juanita was born in
Arizona, moved to the Los
Angeles area for a few
years, returned to
Arizona and eventually
made her way to
Westerville, Ohio. She
currently resides at
Columbus Colony.
Juanita spent her early
years helping out in her
mother’s Mexican restau-
rant in Arizona. She also
worked in food service
while in Los Angeles.
Many years ago,
Juanita developed a
different type of cataract
on both eyes that is more
difficult to remove. She
had the surgery done and
unfortunately, it did not
go well and Juanita lost
most of her vision. Over
the last couple of years,
what sight she has is
beginning to fade. She will
be seeing a specialist at
OSU soon and hopes he
will be able to help return
at least the minimal vision
she had.
Juanita is the mother of
four children. One of her
fondest memories is of
visiting her one daughter
in Louisville, KY where the
daughter’s husband was
stationed at the time.
Juanita loves to read
and has three different
ways she can listen to her
books. Her favorite author
is Danielle Steel but she
likes many different

It’s That Time Again!
The Franklin County
Office on Aging provides
an amazing service
called Franklin County
Senior Options or Senior
Options for short. The
FCSO program aims to
help Franklin County
residents, age 60 and
older, maintain their in-
dependence as well as
support family members
in charge of caring for
loved ones. A wide
range of community
based services have
been provided by
Senior Options for over
20 years. Such services
include anything from
home delivered meals,
respite care, and minor
home repair, to personal/
home care and even
emergency response
systems. Approximately
6,000 senior adults
receive these services
monthly. Although this
program is for Franklin
county residents,
