How can I help a family member who is blind?
If you have a family member or friend who is blind or partially sighted, it’s natural to want to offer support. However, it’s important to ensure your help is respectful and meaningful. Here are some key ways to assist a loved one with visual impairments:
Treat them with respect
Always interact with them just as you would with any other person in the family. Treating them with dignity helps maintain their sense of independence.
Improve accessibility
Make sure their living space is easily navigable. Consider using Braille labels or tactile markers on household items to help them navigate their environment independently.
Show care and affection
Remember that blindness can present physical challenges, so be mindful of offering support and showing affection in ways that reflect care and respect for their needs.
Speak in a normal tone
Avoid raising your voice or speaking loudly just because they are blind. Always communicate in a normal tone of voice and make sure to speak directly to them when addressing them.
Offer assistance when needed
If you're willing to help, ask them if they'd like assistance, and wait for them to accept. Be clear that you’re offering help, and respect their decision if they prefer to manage on their own.
Help with outings
While some blind individuals prefer to go out independently, others may appreciate assistance. If they do, accompany them on outings or help plan an enjoyable activity, always considering their preferences and comfort level.

About Us and our Carers
At Verity Healthcare, every carer receives comprehensive training that not only meets but exceeds the statutory standards of the Care Certificate. As an accredited training center, we provide specialized training designed to equip our carers with the skills needed to deliver professional, compassionate care.
Our training program includes a blend of classroom sessions, group discussions, workbooks, online learning, and practical supervision. Led by qualified trainers, the course covers a wide range of essential topics, including duty of care, person-centered care, communication, privacy and dignity, nutrition and hydration, dementia care, safeguarding, basic life support, health and safety, medication administration, handling information, and infection prevention and control. This thorough approach ensures our carers are fully prepared to offer the highest standard of care to those we support.
At Verity Healthcare, we have a thorough recruitment, selection, and interview process to ensure we hire only the best carers. While skills and experience are important, we also prioritize the caring nature and personal qualities that make someone an exceptional carer. As a result, we recruit less than 1% of the carers who apply to join our team.
Our carers undergo a combination of classroom-based training and hands-on experience. They are required to complete and pass the Care Certificate within 12 weeks of starting their first placement, ensuring they are fully equipped to provide the highest level of care.
The key to Verity Healthcare’s success lies in our unwavering commitment to providing personalized, high-quality care that truly meets the individual needs of those we support. We achieve this through a combination of highly trained, compassionate carers, a person-centered approach, and a dedication to continuous improvement. By selecting only the best carers, offering comprehensive training, and maintaining a close connection with both clients and their families, we ensure that each person receives the care and support they deserve. This dedication to excellence and genuine care is what sets us apart and drives our success.
Home care can be ideal for anyone who wishes to remain in the comfort of their own home while receiving the support they need. We work with you to create a personalized care plan that ensures the right level of support based on your health, preferences, and lifestyle.
Getting started is easy! Simply contact us to schedule an initial consultation, where we’ll discuss your needs, preferences, and how we can help. We’ll then develop a personalized care plan and match you with the right carer.
If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to our team at Verity Healthcare, and we’d be happy to assist you.
Ensuring the highest standard of care is at the heart of everything we do at Verity Healthcare. We are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Care Inspectorate Wales, which means our services are subject to regular inspections and must meet strict care quality standards. But we don’t stop there. Our team conducts continuous monitoring and feedback loops, meaning we consistently assess and improve the care we provide. We also ensure that all carers participate in regular training and development to stay up-to-date with best practices in care. Additionally, we take feedback seriously – from both clients and families – to ensure that every care plan is working effectively and that you’re satisfied with the support you’re receiving.
At Verity Healthcare, we understand that the relationship between a carer and client is crucial. That’s why we take great care in matching our carers to clients based on a range of factors. We look at the level of care needed, specific health conditions, and personal preferences. For example, if you have a condition like dementia, we’ll match you with a carer who has specific training and experience in this area. We also consider personality traits and interests, as a positive relationship with a carer can greatly improve the overall experience. Our team takes the time to understand both the client’s and the carer’s needs to ensure compatibility. Once a match is made, we closely monitor the care relationship to make sure it’s working well and adjust it if needed.
