Reablement
Reablement is a service provided to you at home, and aims to promote and maintain your independence and reduce the need for formal care and support services.
Reablement is the term used to describe care and support which is intended to promote people鈥檚 independence and reduce the need for long term care and support.
Most people who use this short term service usually reach their independence goals within a couple of weeks. The service is time limited for a maximum of 6 weeks, although you will only ever receive the service for the time you require it.
Reablement involves a team of workers supporting you which might include:
- care workers
- occupational therapists
- physio therapists
- social care workers
Collectively, and with your involvement, a plan is agreed with goals to be achieved. Reviews of your progress are undertaken with you.
In addition, the Reablement service can also access equipment, aids and technology to help you gain, or remain, independent.
At the end of the service, you will receive an assessment to determine if you have eligible care and support needs, and the service will agree with you what the next steps are.
