At Tiggo Care, we understand that while many blind individuals maintain their independence and do not need assistance from carers, some do benefit from additional support.
The challenges associated with blindness can be exacerbated by other health conditions and lifestyle choices, making it difficult to live independently. However, we believe all people can live their lives the way they want to with the right support. That's where our tailored home care service comes in, designed to respect and promote autonomy.
Our dedicated team can handle every aspect of your care needs from aiding with daily routines to navigating the complexities of additional health needs. We can offer assistance with personal care, help with medication routines and ensure you travel safely to appointments and social events. Our bespoke approach adapts to your loved one's needs as they change with time. Call us today to learn more about how we can support your loved one.
Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
Blindness varies from person to person; some individuals have partial vision loss, while others experience total absence of vision.
Approximately 340,000 individuals in the UK are officially listed as blind or partially sighted. Blindness can result from genetic conditions, eye diseases, accidents, and health complications. Common causes include diabetes, cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. This condition can be congenital or a result of ageing.
The impact of blindness on daily life depends significantly on the degree of vision loss and the presence of other health issues. Adaptive technologies can play crucial roles in enhancing independence amongst those affected by blindness, helping them to navigate their environments safely and effectively.
"I love helping people feel more comfortable at home. Whether it's guiding someone to the shops, preparing meals, or just being there for a chat, every day is different and rewarding. I get to know each person and what makes them happy, and that’s what makes my job so special. Supporting someone with blindness is about making life easier and brighter, one day at a time."
For many blind individuals, maintaining independence is achievable, but when additional health conditions arise, support at home from a professional care assistant can be hugely beneficial. Tiggo Care provides personalised home care in London tailored to the unique needs of blind individuals, ensuring your loved one can live comfortably and safely.
Our support at home for the blind might include assisting with personal care, supporting with medication routines, and helping with household tasks. We can also assist with meal preparation, shopping, and attending appointments to ensure all aspects of daily life run smoothly.

Our home care service is based on personal experience
We understand, first-hand how important it is to secure flexible and bespoke home care for your loved one.
“Tiggo Care is born out of my own personal experiences, following my struggle to find suitable care for my parents, both of whom lived with rare diseases..."

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Yes, it’s possible to care for a blind person at home even if they have other healthcare needs. Many blind individuals manage well independently, but additional health issues can require extra support. Our support at home for the blind service in London provides personalised assistance, helping with daily tasks, mobility, and medication routines.
Keeping a blind person entertained involves engaging in activities that stimulate other senses. Audiobooks, music, tactile games, and crafts are great options. These activities ensure your loved one stays mentally active and enjoys a fulfilling life.
If a blind person develops other health conditions or finds daily activities increasingly challenging, it's time to consider home care. Tiggo Care offers tailored support, ensuring that your loved one receives the help they need with household tasks and mobility, all while respecting their independence and enhancing their quality of life.
Be there emotionally, listen to their concerns, and help them maintain their independence by assisting with daily tasks and new routines. Encourage the use of adaptive tools and ensure the home environment is safe and accessible.
Contact our care team using the form below or by calling our office and we'll organise a free consultation to advise you on your specific care needs.
