Eye and hearing care for your residents, delivered at your care home
We help care homes arrange routine eye care, hearing checks, earwax removal and hearing support without the stress of transporting residents off site.
You get one named coordinator, planned visit dates, clear resident records and practical support for families, staff and management.
Designed to make care home visits easier
We help care homes arrange eye care and hearing support with less disruption for residents, families and staff.
One named coordinator
A single point of contact for scheduling, consent, visit planning and follow up, so your team is not chasing different departments.
Planned visit schedule
We can arrange routine visits around your home’s diary, with options for quarterly, six monthly or annual visits depending on resident needs.
Resident centred clinicians
Our clinicians work calmly and at the resident’s pace, with practical understanding of dementia, capacity, communication difficulties and family involvement.
Clear visit records
After each visit, we provide clear notes, findings and recommended next steps, so your team can keep records with the resident’s care plan.
Clear costs, no surprises
Where NHS funded services apply, we check eligibility. Any private services, such as earwax removal, hearing aids or additional support, are explained clearly before anything is arranged.
Staff support included
We can provide simple guidance to help staff spot changes in vision, hearing, communication or ear health, so residents can be referred sooner when needed.
What a routine care home visit can include

Our team can provide eye tests for eligible residents in their room, at the bedside, or in a quiet area of the home.

- Earwax removal where clinically suitable

We can support your team with practical guidance on spotting changes in vision, hearing, communication and ear health in older adults.

From first call to first visit, usually within two weeks
We keep the process simple for your team, from the first conversation through to resident lists, consent and visit planning.
Discovery call
A short call with our care home team to understand your residents, your current routine, access needs and the best way to arrange visits.
Partnership pack
We send a simple information pack, including the service overview, consent guidance, resident list template and materials for your noticeboard or family communication.
Resident list
You return the list of residents who'd like to be seen (with any best-interest decisions noted). We handle the NHS forms.
First visit
Our clinician arrives with the equipment and information needed for the visit. After this, your home has a named coordinator for future bookings, follow ups and support.
All the boxes ticked
Everything your CQC inspector, governance lead and registered manager will ask about.
300+ homes across the South East

What our partner homes say
Before HomeSight, organising eye tests for our residents was a logistical nightmare — minibuses, family escorts, half a day lost. Now it just happens, four times a year, on a Tuesday. The clinician knows our residents by name. We could not be happier.
The reports are exactly what CQC want to see. Each resident has a signed visit summary in their care plan within 48 hours. Our last inspection specifically praised the eye and hearing pathway — and the inspector asked who we used.
