The council’s adult care service is set to hold its annual information and advice day for residents with hearing and sight problems.
On Tuesday 27 August, anyone living with a sensory impairment can attend a free event, held at Number One Riverside in Rochdale, to find out about sensory services.
There will be stalls with information and advice, free hearing screenings, and sensory equipment demonstrations.
A range of innovative assistive technology, which helps to increase people’s independence in their homes, will also be showcased.
In addition, sensory experts will be on hand to answer people’s questions and offer advice and support.
Councillor Iftikhar Ahmed, Rochdale Borough Council’s cabinet member for adult care, said: “This event is always a good opportunity for people with a sensory need to find out more about the high quality services, help and advice we have available. Our sensory services help to enhance people’s lives and support them to live independently in a place of their choice. We are also very proud of the assistive technology we provide, making people safer in their own homes, preventing hospital admissions and helping our residents to retain their independence.”
The free sensory awareness event will be held on the ground floor of Number One Riverside on Tuesday 27 August, 10am to 3pm.
