Reablement

Sometimes after a spell in hospital or illness, people lose confidence and are worried about their ability to cope at home.

Reablement is a short-term free service provided in your own home and gives you the opportunity to regain lost skills. We will work with you to find new ways to do things independently, which may be through aids, equipment, or technology.

Following an assessment, Reablement Support Workers will work with you to re-gain lost skills by focusing on your strengths and setting achievable goals.

Your goals will be recorded as part of your short-term support plan and be kept in your Care Record book. This means your achievements can be monitored and you work towards new goals.

The level of support is different for everyone and is based on your own skills and abilities. We will work closely with you and other healthcare professionals to support you, always listening to you and your Carers.

Support Workers will monitor the level of support you need daily. Your short-term package of support may increase or decrease throughout your time with us. Reablement may be provided for a maximum of 6 weeks and a review can be triggered at any time.

At the end of Reablement, if you feel your goals for independence have been met, you will be discharged from the service.

If you need longer-term care and support, a Social Worker or Assessor will review your situation. This review will take place with yourself and if needed, any family members or advocates.

You will find a questionnaire in your Care Record book to tell us about your experience in the service.
