Why it matters
Eye care is often overlooked in care settings — it shouldn't be
Poor vision significantly increases the risk of falls, social withdrawal and cognitive decline in older adults. Yet many care home residents go years without a sight test — simply because attending a high street optician isn't possible.
Eyecare at Home removes that barrier entirely. We come to your residents, carry out full NHS-funded sight tests on-site, and handle everything from dispensing to referrals — with documentation that supports your CQC obligations.
10+ years with NHS Falls Prevention Teams
Our lead optometrist has spent over a decade working directly with NHS Falls Prevention and Mental Health Teams across Wolverhampton, Coventry and Solihull — giving us a uniquely deep understanding of how vision loss contributes to falls risk in older and vulnerable adults. That experience shapes everything we do in care homes.
What We Provide
A fully managed eye care service — from first contact to follow-up.
NHS-Funded Sight Tests
Full NHS sight tests carried out at the care home — no transport, no disruption. All eligible residents can access NHS-funded eye care on-site.
CQC-Aligned Documentation
Every visit is fully documented to care home standards. Our records support your CQC inspection evidence and integrate directly with residents' care plans.
Care Team Coordination
We liaise with your care staff before, during and after each visit — and communicate results to family members and next of kin where required.
On-Site Eyewear Dispensing
Frames and lenses dispensed directly to residents at the home. NHS vouchers accepted. No need to arrange external trips to a high street optician.
Low Vision Assessments
Specialist assessments for residents with conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy — with appropriate aids and referrals.
Onward Referrals Managed
Where further investigation is needed, we handle referrals to ophthalmology and other NHS services on the resident's behalf — reducing the burden on your team.
How It Works
Simple to set up. Minimal burden on your team.
Initial enquiry
Call us or complete the enquiry form. We'll discuss your residents' needs and agree a schedule that works around your care routines.
Resident consent & preparation
We work with your team to obtain appropriate consent and prepare residents — including those with dementia or complex needs.
On-site visits
The same optometrist attends with all equipment — your residents will always see a familiar, friendly face. Sight tests are carried out in residents' own rooms or a suitable quiet space, at their pace.
Documentation & follow-up
Full CQC-aligned records provided. Results communicated to families and GPs. Any referrals or eyewear orders handled directly.

What your staff will learn
Signs of vision loss to watch for
Squinting, bumping into objects, difficulty reading menus or activity sheets, reluctance to move around.
The vision–falls connection
How uncorrected vision problems increase fall risk — and why glasses alone aren't always enough.
When and how to escalate
Simple, confident steps for flagging concerns and requesting an eye test through the right channels.
Documenting for CQC
How to record vision-related observations in care plans to support inspection evidence.
Did your current provider stop group testing?
National providers like OutsideClinic have stopped group eye clinics — they now only test individual residents booked by next of kin. This creates massive admin burden for your staff and leaves residents untested. We still offer full-coverage block contracts. Your residents deserve better.
