Before MonarchCare's involvement, Karen lived alone and would stand in the middle of the street looking at the sun (with no eye protection) and talk to God. She had numerous close calls that almost took her to visit God. Thanks to her neighbors, MonarchCare was called in and appointed her legal Guardian. MonarchCare moved Karen to an assisted living facility. Once Karen was stabilized, MonarchCare found an ophthalmologist who diagnosed her with retinal detachment so severe there was no hope of corrective surgery. Because of this, Karen could not see well and would walk and feel the walls, resulting in frequent falls and injuries. MonarchCare again had Karen moved to a smaller facility where she could be closely monitored to keep her safe and prevent further accidents. Although she only has limited sight due to years of direct sunlight exposure, she is thriving and happy with her caregivers. She mostly loves how they prepare Jamaican food just like the home cooking of her youth.
