COVID-19 | The Hi-VisUK Guides
Caring for someone over 70? You need to read our free guides!
About Our Guides
Our Hi-VisUK information and guidance series is designed to help those supporting or caring for an older person with Dual Sensory Impairment (DSI) during this COVID-19 emergency and the guidance on social distancing and socially isolating.
Who are they for?
The guides are for the DSI person’s family, friends, neighbours, carers and care organisations, social care and health care providers.
What do they include?
Each individual guide aims to help you quickly understand the impacts of DSI and the extra challenges brought about by the COVID-19 emergency of keeping them and you safe and still having effective communication.
Our guides cover a range of everyday situations and related challenges facing a DSI person and those who need to see them during the COVID-19 outbreak.
