Raising the bar
Age-related deafblindnessIndications from our evaluation team of our impact and how we are helping to make a difference for older people with dual sensory loss are emerging strongly through feedback from the people we engage with in the project.
Harry’s Story
Age-related deafblindnessWe visit care homes to raise awareness of deafblindness in older people, to explain how we can support care providers and how to identify and support their residents with the condition. We do this using our unique Talk and TryTM sessions.
Raising the Profile of Deafblindness
Age-related deafblindnessOne example of how we connect people and organisations is when celebrating Older People's Day. It is these themed events that create important opportunities to bring deafblindness into the ageing agenda.
