The Reablement Team

The Reablement Team specialises in assisting people to regain their independence after a period of ill health. They work in close collaboration with most other teams, but especially so with the Community, Home First and Hospital teams. This is very much at the heart of nearly everything the department does.

Reablement is the first port of call when considering care options for people who are in, or want to return to, their own homes and the team works with people for up to six weeks to maximise their independence or identify what long term options are best for people depending upon their specific circumstances.

The Reablement process is one of continuous review and assessment so that a person’s care plan is updated regularly to keep pace with their period of recovery.
