Tiggo Care offers personalised support for blind people at home, enriching their lives and improving their overall wellbeing.
Our professional carers offer practical support for visually impaired people, making daily life easier and more comfortable. Living with a visual impairment or vision loss can be challenging, especially if you live alone. But with the right support for the blind, you can still live independently and confidently manage daily life. Our care assistants can help with everything from personal care to meal preparation, helping you stay active, safe, and connected.
We understand that blind people and those who are partially sighted may need different types of support. That’s why our support is structured around personalised care plans for each blind or partially sighted adult, offering respectful, compassionate help.
We provide home care services for people living with sight loss across all ages. Whether you need support for yourself or a loved one, Tiggo Care can help you move forward confidently.
Contact us today to speak to our team or refer a loved one. Together, we’ll create a compassionate care package to help the blind person in your life.

More than 2 million people in the UK live with a visual impairment, including the 340,000 people who are registered blind or partially sighted.
To be considered sight impaired, your visual acuity must be worse than 6/12 Snellen, which is halfway down the optician’s chart. Blind people can be classified as severely sight impaired, while others may be partially sighted or use low vision aids in everyday life. This level of vision loss means you’re no longer able to drive under UK law. Many adults affected by sight loss are older, but young people and children can also experience vision impairment due to eye conditions or injury.
The most common causes of visual impairment include:
If you’ve received a diagnosis, your local authority can help you access resources and financial support such as welfare benefits, grants, or practical assistance to make your home safer. Many organisations, such as the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), also provide services that help blind and partially sighted people live independently and confidently move forward after vision loss.
Our carers are dedicated to helping blind and partially sighted adults lead meaningful, independent lives. They understand how sight loss or vision impairment can affect confidence and mood. That’s why they focus on emotional support, companionship, and practical help to improve your daily life and promote independence.
We can assist blind people and those with visual impairment in developing life skills, using technology and low vision aids such as magnifiers and text-to-speech tools, and adjusting to their surroundings safely. Our person-centred care can enable you to stay connected to your community, maintain your routine, and live independently in your own home.
Our carers can help you with:
Every care plan is individualised to meet your needs and maximise your independence. Support adapts as your vision changes, so you can continue enjoying life with confidence.

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.
If you like what you've read and are ready to access one of our care services or perhaps just have some questions, please follow our simple 3 step process below.
Send us some additional information about your request by emailing us or by using the form below. Alternatively, if you would prefer to speak with someone directly, please feel free to call us.
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.
If you’ve been referred to a low-vision clinic, you’ll gain access to resources such as counselling, mobility training, and low vision aids. You may also receive advice on home adaptations and financial support through your local authority. Local and national sight loss charities offer peer support and rehabilitation services. For example, BlindAid provides help with blind Londoners, including grants and fortnightly calls or visits from trained volunteers to tackle social isolation. The RNIB offers free courses for adjusting to sight loss. For ongoing help, Tiggo Care can organise home visits and live-in care for blind or partially sighted adults.
For carers, clear communication and patience are essential. Always ask how to help rather than assuming, and encourage independence where possible. Offer emotional support and practical help that builds confidence while assisting with daily life.
After your diagnosis, start by keeping your home layout consistent so you can navigate easily. You may also qualify for practical assistance from local organisations or financial support for home safety equipment. Our carers can guide you in accessing resources or support through your local authority or charity partners.
Caring for blind, partially or severely sight-impaired people involves understanding their vision loss and creating a safe, supportive environment. Treat everyone with respect, listen actively, and help them use low vision aids or life skills to remain independent. Tiggo Care’s team provides personalised support for blind adults, helping them live independently.
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.
