How we support care home managers

  • Person‑centered care
    We know that every resident is unique. Our home visits colleagues are specially trained and sensitive to their complex needs, adapting eye and hearing care as appropriate. Plus, we’ve partnered with Dementia Friends to make sure we provide the best support in every single interaction.

  • A quick, responsive service
    Getting an appointment is quick and easy, and we give you the flexibility to move things around if you need to. If you ever need a repair for a resident, you won’t be left waiting – we aim to respond to requests within 24 hours (during trading hours).

  • End‑to‑end support
    Consider us an extension of your team. We take care of all the paperwork for you, especially when switching providers. You can rely on us to send timely reminders when residents are due for a check, ensuring nothing is missed.

  • Post‑visit support
    Need to keep families updated? With permission, we will happily communicate directly with residents’ families so you don’t have to. Our goal is to equip your care team with the resources to succeed. That includes providing a pack with full details of the test, prescription and useful information for seamless, high‑quality care between our visits.

Booking a hearing or eye test in a care home

Care home eye tests can be requested online or by phone. Care home hearing tests can currently only be requested by phone. Both appointment types can be requested by the resident or a loved one, or by the care home manager on behalf of the residents.
