What is rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation is help provided by your local authority, or a local organisation acting on their behalf, to enable you to learn or re-learn some of the essential daily living and mobility skills which have been affected by your sight loss.
The sort of activities your rehabilitation officer can help you with include:
- Cooking and preparing food
- Cleaning and looking after your home
- Washing and getting dressed
- Moving around and getting out and about
Rehabilitation should be given in addition to any longer-term care needs provided by your local authority.
You can find your local council to arrange an assessment on the Gov.uk website:
