Our support

Through our accommodation and support services we offer a range of options for adults with sight loss and multiple disabilities. All our services are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). SeeAbility helps families and people with transition from home or college. SeeAbility also prevents avoidable sight loss for adults and children with learning disabilities.
