AnnotationThe author has been speaking to a range of older people with sensory impairments to find out about their lives. It emerged that there was little specialised support for such people and that the lack of regular communication with other people leads to frustration and isolation. Three cases are presented, which highlight the work of communicator-guides, who accompany people with sensory impairments for a short time each week to help maintain a level of independence. (KJ/RH).
