How this ranking was built

  1. Overall CQC rating. Outstanding ranks above Good.
  2. Domain strength. How many of the five inspection domains, safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, are rated Good or Outstanding.
  3. Recency. A more recently published rating carries more weight, because it reflects the service closer to how it is now.

Showing 10 of 218 sensory impairment in Surrey that currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, out of 273 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.

About sensory impairment in Surrey

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.

Registration, and why it is worth doing

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:

  • Automatic Blue Badge eligibility, with no further assessment
  • A 50% TV licence discount
  • Help with NHS costs, including eye tests and glasses
  • Council Tax and rail and bus travel concessions
  • A duty on the council to assess your needs

Deaf and deafblind people can also register with the council, which triggers an assessment duty.

Specialist assessment

Ask for an assessment by someone qualified in sensory impairment rather than a general social worker. It should cover:

  • Rehabilitation, including mobility training and long cane training
  • Communication support, such as BSL interpreters, deafblind manual or a communicator guide
  • Equipment, from talking clocks and liquid level indicators to flashing doorbells and vibrating alarms
  • Technology, including screen readers and magnification

Equipment and minor adaptations under £1,000 must be provided free after assessment. You should not be buying these yourself.

Money

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.

Where to get specialist help

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.

Sensory impairment support in Surrey: common questions

How many sensory impairment are there in Surrey?

273 CQC-registered sensory impairment have a registered office in Surrey, South East. Of those, 218 currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, which is the pool this ranking is drawn from.

Who pays for sensory impairment in Surrey?

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.

Does a Good rating mean the service is good today?

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.

Why should I register as sight impaired?

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.

Is equipment for sight or hearing loss free?

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.
