| Annotation | This good practice guide is a tool to improve the homes of people with sight loss. It aims to support planned maintenance, replacements and refurbishments of the homes of people with sight loss and one-off adaptations in response to individual needs. The importance of involving people with sight loss in decisions about their homes is stressed. Checklists are included on the different areas of the home (and outdoor areas) that have been discussed in the main text. The content and style of this publication has been informed by people with sight loss and by housing and support staff working in: Coventry City Council, the Extra Care Charitable Trust, Hammersmith and Fulham housing and support services, Westside Shepherds Bush Support Services, and the Wilberforce Trust.
