Our Partnership with Bluebird Care Winchester, Eastleigh & Romsey

At Rawlings Opticians & Hearing Care, we’ve been proudly serving Hampshire communities since 1895 — providing trusted eye care and hearing services to help people see clearly, hear better, and live life to the full.

We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Bluebird Care Winchester, Eastleigh & Romsey, a local home care provider that shares our commitment to supporting people’s independence, comfort and wellbeing at home. Together, we’re ensuring that every aspect of health — including vision and hearing — is given the care and attention it deserves.

Why Our Partnership Matters

Bluebird Care provide home and live-in care services across Winchester, Eastleigh, and Romsey. Their compassionate carers help people remain safe and independent at home, while we at Rawlings focus on maintaining their sensory health through professional eye and hearing care.

By combining our expertise, we can:

  • Help identify early changes in  hearing.

  • Make it easy for Bluebird Care customers to access hearing checks, ear wax removal, and comprehensive eye tests.

  • Share knowledge and advice with care teams so they can recognise when someone might benefit from an eye or hearing assessment.

It’s a partnership built on shared values — personal care, trust, and the belief that small improvements in sensory health can make a big difference to daily life.

Supporting Local Bluebird Care Customers

Through our collaboration, Bluebird Care customers can benefit from:

  • Free hearing checks with our qualified audiology team.

  • Wax removal to help clear and improve hearing

  • Independent advice on hearing aids, glasses and contact lenses.

  • Ongoing aftercare and adjustments to help every device work its best.

  • Friendly, local practices in Winchester, Chandlers Ford, and nearby areas.

For customers who are unable to visit a practice, we can also arrange home-based appointments, ensuring everyone can access the hearing care they need.
