Inspection Ready
Full vision and eye health checks for all residents, including those with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, and other conditions affecting communication or mobility. We use adapted techniques and allow extra time.
We bring a mobile selection of lightweight, durable frames suitable for elderly wearers. NHS voucher frames included at no cost. We return to fit and adjust glasses on-site.
We handle all NHS paperwork and claims for eligible residents. You receive a clear monthly or quarterly report showing which residents were tested, their NHS status, and any private charges.
Full resident eye care records, staff training certificates, and annual compliance reports provided for CQC inspections. We help you demonstrate that resident vision needs are being met.
Residents build trust and familiarity. Our optometrists learn each resident's needs and preferences.
We schedule, remind, test, supply glasses, and invoice. You get one consolidated report.
Extensive experience with Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, and other cognitive conditions.
We work around your routines — mornings, afternoons, or specific days that suit your staff.

We visit your home, meet your team, assess your resident numbers and needs, and agree a testing schedule.
We create individual eye care records for each resident, including medical history, mobility notes, and communication preferences.
Our optometrist arrives with all equipment. We work room by room, keeping disruption to a minimum. Each test takes 30–45 minutes.
Results are shared with you and the resident's GP (with consent). Glasses are ordered, delivered, and fitted on a return visit.
Annual re-testing is scheduled automatically. Emergency appointments available for sudden vision changes or lost/broken glasses.
