Reablement services

Community Reablement Service

Reablement provides short-term, intensive support to help you regain independence after an illness, a fall, or a loss of essential skills. You receive this support in your own home. Many people recover fully and no longer need further assistance. If you do require additional help, professionals will develop a care and support plan to meet your ongoing needs.

Mental Health Reablement Service

We work with health partners to support people facing mental health challenges. We offer help with coping techniques, social inclusion, confidence-building, and goal-setting. Support may also include assistance with housing, debt, self-esteem, isolation, or joining social groups and volunteer programs.

How to access the service or get a referral

A social care or health professional must assess your needs before you can access this service.

Following a referral, a team member will meet with you to assess your support needs. Assistance may be provided through:

• one-on-one support with a Reablement worker (up to six weeks)
• participation in a self-help group
