New Sight Loss Support Hub Launches at Newmarket Care Home

Brampton Manor, part of the Boutique Care Homes family, is proud to announce a new partnership with Suffolk Sight—a trusted local charity dedicated to supporting people living with sight loss. Together, they are creating a welcoming, community-focused space where individuals can access personalised guidance, practical advice, and meaningful connection.

The partnership launched on Wednesday 14 May with a well-attended session that welcomed residents, family members, and local visitors into Brampton Manor’s elegant and comfortable surroundings. With sight loss affecting an increasing number of older adults in the community, the event marked an important step in making trusted, local support more accessible and inclusive.

Now continuing as a regular feature, Suffolk Sight sessions will take place on the second Wednesday of every month, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM at Brampton Manor. These monthly events are open to residents, families, and the wider community, offering a safe and supportive environment to explore the help available.

For resident Mary, the first session offered a chance to speak openly about the challenges she faces day to day. “It’s been frightening,” she shared. “But talking to others and learning what support is out there made me feel less alone.” Suffolk Sight arranged a one-to-one follow-up to help her explore practical options in more detail—just one example of the immediate impact the event had.

Suffolk Sight’s knowledgeable team will now be on hand each month to offer tailored advice across a wide range of essential topics. These include practical support for daily living and maintaining independence, guidance on low vision aids such as magnification and assistive reading tools, and help navigating financial matters, including benefits, grants, and concessions. The sessions also explore technology solutions to support visual impairment, alongside opportunities for social engagement and befriending—ensuring that no one has to face sight loss alone.

Whether someone is living with sight loss themselves, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking information, these sessions offer a compassionate and informative space to ask questions and access trusted resources.

Danny, Admissions Manager at Brampton Manor, said; “Supporting wellbeing and quality of life is at the heart of everything we do. By partnering with Suffolk Sight, we’re not only helping our residents, but also extending that support to neighbours in the wider community. This is care that connects.”
