Choosing a provider

A registered specialism means the provider has told CQC it supports those with a sensory impairment; it does not tell you how much experience its staff have. Ask how many current clients have similar needs, what training carers receive, how they keep the same small team, and how they handle distress or refusals. Then read the latest CQC report, not just the rating.

Questions worth adding:

  • Do staff have sight loss or deaf awareness training?
  • How do you keep people connected with family and activities?
  • Can staff use British Sign Language or tactile signing if needed?
