Case studies
Jayne
The residents are like family to me - it doesn’t feel like I’m coming into work, it feels like I’m visiting their home.
Jayne has worked at New Wycliffe Home for six years, and is now an Assistant Manager.
Jo
It's nice to have progressed yet still work within the organisation, I enjoy being part of Vista's person-centred approach to care.
Starting as a support worker, Jo is now a registered manager for Vista's residential homes for adults with sight loss and learning disabilities.
Jo and Mary
Mum can compile her shopping list as and when she thinks about it and I can do her shopping for her.

Joan
The groups are thoroughly enjoyable. I’ve made friends here, and I often go home and think about what we got up to!
Joan's sight has deteriorated in the last five years. Her loss of central vision means she finds it hard to recognise faces, read, or perform other activities of daily life.
John
It helps to be around others who can relate - there’s no embarrassment, as we’re all in a similar situation.
John was a normal teenager, living in Hinckley during the Second World War. At just 14 years old, he was a civilian casualty, resulting in complete blindness in both eyes.
