Reablement is a short-term care service designed to help individuals regain their independence after a period of illness, surgery, or a stay in hospital. It is particularly useful for those who need assistance with basic tasks but have the potential to recover and become more self-sufficient. At Nwando Care, our reablement services focus on helping individuals rebuild their strength and confidence in the comfort of their own home.
What is Reablement?
Reablement is a type of care that focuses on rehabilitation and restoration. It is a short-term service designed to help individuals recover and regain the ability to perform daily activities. Unlike long-term care services, reablement is a time-limited intervention that focuses on promoting independence.
Who Needs Reablement?
Reablement is ideal for individuals who:
Have been discharged from the hospital and need assistance with everyday tasks while recovering.
Have experienced an illness or injury that has affected their ability to function independently.
Are living with a long-term condition that has worsened but may improve with support and rehabilitation.
How Does Reablement Work?
Our reablement services begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand the individual's needs, capabilities, and goals. Based on this assessment, we create a personalised care plan that focuses on:
-
Physical recovery: Encouraging mobility, strength, and coordination.
-
Daily living tasks: Re-learning how to manage tasks such as dressing, bathing, cooking, and cleaning.
-
Emotional support: Helping individuals regain confidence and independence, reducing anxiety and stress related to recovery.
