Showing 10 of 96 sensory impairment in North Yorkshire that currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, out of 115 registered in total. Services with no published rating are excluded: newly registered services often have none, and no rating is not a poor rating.
Based on Care Quality Commission data published 01 July 2026, used under the Open Government Licence. No provider has paid for a position on this page, and none can.
CQC records sensory impairment as a group that services are registered to support. In practice, support for sight and hearing loss runs through councils, the NHS and specialist charities together.
If you are certified by an ophthalmologist as sight impaired or severely sight impaired, you get a Certificate of Vision Impairment and can register with your council.
Registration is voluntary, but being registered severely sight impaired unlocks:
Deaf and deafblind people can also register with the council, which triggers an assessment duty.
Ask for an assessment by someone qualified in sensory impairment rather than a general social worker. It should cover:
Equipment and minor adaptations under £1,000 must be provided free after assessment. You should not be buying these yourself.
Attendance Allowance or PIP, neither means tested. Sight and hearing loss often score well on the daily living and mobility descriptors, particularly around preparing food, reading, communicating and following a journey.
Access to Work for anything work related: screen readers, magnification, an interpreter, a support worker, or taxis where public transport is not workable.
Disabled Facilities Grant for adaptations such as tactile or high-contrast fittings and improved lighting.
Councils commission a lot of sensory support through charities, so the specialist help often sits outside the council itself. RNIB for sight loss, RNID for hearing loss and Sense for deafblindness all provide advice, and can often act faster than a council waiting list.
115 CQC-registered sensory impairment have a registered office in North Yorkshire, Yorkshire and The Humber. Of those, 96 currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, which is the pool this ranking is drawn from.
That depends on your finances, not your postcode. Above £23,250 in capital you normally pay the full cost. Below £14,250 your capital is ignored. Your council carries out the financial assessment, and NHS Continuing Healthcare pays in full where needs are primarily health needs. 2026/27 thresholds for England.
It means it was rated Good at the last inspection, and the gap between inspections can run to years. Use the rating as a starting point, read the full report, and visit in person before deciding.
Registration is voluntary but it unlocks a lot. Being certified as severely sight impaired qualifies you automatically for a Blue Badge, a 50% TV licence discount, help with NHS costs, Council Tax and rail travel concessions, and it triggers a council duty to assess your needs. The certificate comes from an ophthalmologist and is called a CVI.
Much of it is. Councils must provide equipment and minor adaptations under £1,000 free after an assessment, which covers things like talking clocks, liquid level indicators, flashing doorbells and vibrating alarms. Hearing aids are free on the NHS.
Carevo does not inspect or endorse services. CQC ratings change between inspections. Check the current rating on the CQC website and read the full report before deciding.
