We all know how frustrating it can be when it does not feel like you are being heard. There are sometimes barriers in place which can be successfully removed with access to the right support.
Being a Deaf BSL user can sometimes mean it can be difficult to express yourself, your opinions and your ideas to others who may not understand. You may find yourself in difficult situations such as with health and social care professionals, and they may not give you the right access to all the opportunities and choices or you may not feel included in decisions made about your care.
Remark! Advocacy means getting support from another person who can help you express yourself, your wishes and your views. Your Advocate will help you stand up for your rights, and ensure your voice is heard.
If you have any concerns about your care, and accessing the right support - please contact us and we can help guide you.

As people grow older, they find that they are no longer able to do the physical tasks that they were once able to do with ease. Many senior citizens require assistance with everyday tasks and will need help with getting around and getting things done. They may also appreciate having someone to keep them company and engage with intellectually. Assisting senior citizens with things like household tasks, hobbies, and activities will ensure that they can continue to live rich, fulfilling lives well into the golden years.
