Enabled Living Healthcare, working on behalf of Newham Council, provides support to help people manage the effects and impact of visual impairment. The service covers registration support for visual impairment (through the Sensory Support Team), information to help you adjust to sight loss, signposting to rights, welfare benefits and employment information, and guidance on equipment such as large-button telephones. They also offer mobility and home-safety advice to support independent living, and maintain links with specialist organisations for onward referrals. Access is available via direct contact with Enabled Living Healthcare (phone or email) and through Newham’s Access to Adult Social Care Team for assessments as needed.
