Services for deafblind people

 
Do you find it hard to see and hear? Are you having difficulties communicating?

Greenwich Social Services has a Community Sensory Services team with care managers who work specifically with deafblind people.

We also coordinate a Communicator Guide service to support people with combined hearing and sight loss.

Community Sensory Services team

Services available from the team include:

  • Advice, information and advocacy
  • Equipment - advice and provision
  • Mobility training
  • Support to develop appropriate communication skills
  • Other skills training - for example, safety in the kitchen and home environment
  • Community care assessment and care planning

Communicator guides

These are people who are trained to help deafblind people maximise their independent living skills, broaden their areas of experience and relieve isolation.
