Our staff make it a priority to meet as many older people as possible living with dual sensory loss each year. Whilst our main focus is to enable, through training and advice, local organisations working with older people to support more people with dual sensory loss, sometimes there is no organisation in an area to do this vital work.
When we identify someone in these areas who have either lost their support or have no support and are becoming vulnerable we visit them in their home or care setting.
Through our visits, and our arranged gatherings of older people with this condition, we provide practical advice and support as well as connecting them with services and groups, and showing them equipment that may help.
