Visual impairment can often lead to feelings of isolation, but our carers offer more than just assistance—they become a confidant and friend.

Through regular interaction and understanding, they can help lift spirits and combat the loneliness that may accompany sight loss.

Promoting Autonomy in Daily LivingSection titled Promoting%20Autonomy%20in%20Daily%20Living
