Our services are for people aged 26 and above who:

  • are deaf
  • live with hearing loss
  • live with dual sensory impairment. This is also known as deafblind or deafblindness.

A doctor must confirm that your hearing loss is permanent before we can help you. This does not apply if it started at birth or during childhood.

If there are changes to your hearing, ask your GP for an ear examination. Once you have the right health input, we can give you the support you need.

You may have needs that go beyond your sensory impairment. You could be finding it hard to remain independent at home. Or there may be issues affecting your health and wellbeing. In this case, we can offer you a full care needs assessment.

The assessment

We look at how your sensory impairment affects your day-to-day life. As well as the things you want and need to do at home and in the community.

We understand that everyone is different. During the assessment, we will go over your options. It is important to us that the support available makes a huge difference to you.
