An smiling older lady waving in a supermarket

"I don’t hear very well. 
And my sight is going. 
But give me a hand
and I can manage."

Do you know an older person who has poor sight and hearing, and want to know the best way to help them?

As people get older, they are much more likely to have sight and hearing problems. They may start to struggle with daily life and find it hard to get out and about. They may also find it difficult to hold a conversation or keep in touch - and become lonely and withdrawn.

However, there are many ways that older people who are facing these challenges can be helped to get the best out of life.

Our booklet 'Enjoy Life!' aims to help you understand what an older person is going through, how you can help and where to go for more support.
