AnnotationBoston Lodge - originally run by the Coventry Society for the Blind - is one of three new care homes for older people opened by Sense in the last year. The author met some Boston Lodge residents to find out how Sense is dealing with specialist care provision for older people with dual sensory impairments. Most residents have acquired sensory loss, so they are unable to sign or read braille; yet the aim of Sense homes is to support residents' independence and choice. (KJ/RH).
