Services
My Mum who suffers from dementia had a home visit from Clare. Mum had an eye test at home and was shown a range of glasses to choose from. Mum picked 2 pairs of glasses and returned with them a week later as well as recommending a magnifier for Mums low vision. Throughout the process Clare called and updated me on what was happening. A very professional and friendly service That I would highly recommend.
Low Vision
@Home Healthcare can provide a Low Vision Assessment free of charge for any patient with a reduced visual acuity of N6 or worse. Our low vision dispensing optician will talk to each patient individually about what they would like the most help with – this could be reading, looking at photos, paying bills, dealing with medicine or even working on hobbies. The patient can then try out a selection of low vision aids such magnifiers and task lights, and any aid that is found to be beneficial to the patient can then be provided on loan free of charge.
Care Homes
@Home Healthcare can provide low vision assessments to the residents of care homes through our care home scheme.
