Help for partially sighted daughter

Does anyone know if there is any funding to be had for my daughter, paralysed and partially sighted, to get a door entry system. She feels vulnerable having her door left unlocked when she is alone. She has a keysafe but no means yet of communicating with callers or delivery people. Can anyone give any suggestions please?

Is your daughter seen by a low vision clinic? There are community alarms that you can purchase.
Additionally, to get more information on them, phone your local council for more details on the scheme. They may ask a occupational therapist to come out to do a evaluation to see what she needs. You may also be allowed to apply for a disabled facility grant. You can use the money to fund a security system. What about a peephole like the ones found on airplanes?
The RNIB have a online shop that sells products that help the blind/visually disabled community. Have a look to see what you need https://shop.rnib.org.uk/?utm_source=mainsite&utm_medium=crosslink&utm_campaign=topnavshop
Do you have a social worker or not?
