Tiggo Care's home care services give your loved one personalised support in the place they feel most comfortable: their own home.
Most deaf people can live independently with the help of home adaptations and technology. But when another health condition means your loved one needs care, having a carer who understands their hearing impairment makes all the difference. Our support at home for a deaf person in London is shaped around your loved one's specific needs, so communication is never a barrier to quality care.
Our home care services are not one-size-fits-all. They’re flexible, tailored to meet the unique needs, preferences, and routines of each person. Our team works with you and your family to create a care plan that covers everything from medication routines and domestic tasks to attending medical appointments.
Our carers also provide support for social activities and outings, helping your loved one stay connected with their community and friends. Remaining in their own home allows deaf people to stay connected with their environment, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Contact us today to discuss how we can help with a personalised care plan.

Deafness is a condition where a person has a partial or complete loss of hearing. It can be present from birth or develop over time. In the UK, around 1 in 5 people are deaf or hard of hearing, making hearing loss the second most common disability.
Deafness can result from genetic factors, infections, exposure to loud noise, and certain medications. People with hearing loss can face daily communication barriers, making it harder to connect with family, friends, and those around them. Many deaf people report feelings of loneliness and exclusion from conversations. Deafness can lead to mental health issues and emotional distress, particularly when a person feels cut off from their community.
Hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other assistive devices can help many people with hearing loss. British Sign Language (BSL), lip reading, and written notes are also widely used communication methods. Many people with hearing loss can manage at home with the help of home adaptations and technology.
Older deaf people may run into further struggles due to additional age-related concerns like mobility issues, sight loss, or cognitive decline. Some people also experience both hearing and sight loss. These individuals are sometimes known as deafblind people. When additional health conditions are present, the right support at home can make a real difference.
Home care for the deaf person in your life brings many benefits. Our visiting care packages are tailored to your loved one's specific needs, helping them live independently while receiving the right support.
Our carers assist with daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, running errands, and meal preparation. They also help with medication routines, attending appointments, and supporting deaf people with anything that comes up during the day. Deaf care services can also include assistance with specialist equipment and alert systems to help your loved one stay safe at home. This support means your loved one can focus on the things that matter most to them.
Providing companionship and emotional support is important for preventing feelings of isolation in deaf people. Our carers encourage participation in social activities, helping your loved one stay connected with their community and friends. Having a dedicated carer can help elderly deaf people feel less isolated and more connected to those around them. Home care also enables your loved one to remain in a familiar environment, which can improve their comfort and sense of security.
Personalised care plans for deaf people can address emotional, practical, and physical support needs. Our team works closely with you and your family to build a plan that fits your loved one's routines and preferences. This person-centred care approach helps maximise your loved one's independence and quality of life. Contact us today to find out how our dedicated support can help.

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.

Home care is often needed when a deaf person starts to experience difficulties with daily tasks, usually because of other health conditions alongside their hearing impairment. Older adults may run into further struggles due to additional age-related concerns like mobility issues, sight loss, or cognitive decline. A care assessment can help you and your family understand what support is needed.
Yes, absolutely. Whether your loved one needs temporary relief following surgery or support during a transition period, Tiggo Care provides flexible short-term home care packages for deaf people. Just get in touch with our team to discuss your specific needs.
Relay UK helps deaf, speech-impaired and hearing people communicate over the phone using a relay service. A relay assistant helps connect the call so you can talk with ease. You can use the Relay UK service through your phone provider at normal charges. The Relay UK app is a free app that allows users to make phone calls by typing what they want to say and reading replies in real time.
Our carers are trained to communicate effectively using British Sign Language (BSL) and other communication methods such as written notes and visual cues. They assist with daily tasks such as domestic chores, cooking, meal preparation, escorting to appointments, and ensuring medication adherence. Having a dedicated carer means there is always someone to help when your loved one encounters difficult situations during errands, appointments or social activities.
Support for elderly deaf people includes assistance with practical tasks, ensuring safety and offering emotional support. Dedicated carers can help elderly deaf people with clear communication and access to services. Care plans for elderly deaf people can be tailored to address their unique communication needs and safety measures.
Supporting a person who is deaf at home involves creating a visually friendly environment, using technology for alerts, and ensuring clear communication. Furniture should be arranged in a circular or U-shape to help with visibility for communication, and rooms should have bright, even lighting for sign language and lip-reading, avoiding direct backlighting. To get a deaf person's attention, try a gentle tap on the shoulder or flicking the lights on and off.
