Ensight Skills Center

Dedicated to providing clients with low vision the opportunity to enhance their life skills, independence and self-confidence, in a safe environment, through adaptive technology and training.

The Fort Collins Lions Club, working with the other Lions Clubs in Fort Collins, has been instrumental in opening, in July 2001, the Ensight Skills Center.  The goal is to give each client the opportunity to remain independent and safe in their own home.
