Reablement

Our staff are all trained in practical enablement techniques that are designed to make the process of improvement easier and more likely to succeed. We will assess your needs and discuss what you wish to achieve. We will then together devise a plan taking into account strength, stamina and dexterity requirements.

All our experienced care staff all have the following outstanding qualities:

• 1. Patience
  It is the ability to seem unrushed, untroubled by time and not to be too ambitious that you feel uncomfortable with the speed of progress. They need to be able to help you pick the right projects no matter how small and allow you the time and space to restore your health.
• 2. Empathy
  In reablement, the ability of the carer to see it from your point of view is vital. If we do not understand both your mental and physical condition, we don’t know what the right goals and strategies that will work for you.
• 3. Confidence Building
  A period of time in hospital, or an illness, injury, or disability can shatter your confidence. Our carers are trained to help you build up your confidence and motivation to want to get stronger.
• 4. Intuition and Common Sense.
  A good reabling carer will know the right way to support you. They can sense how far to progress. They will also have good judgement in choosing the right tactics for facilitating and encouraging improvement.

The scope and the pace of the service are driven purely by you, the client. No task is too small. We work collectively with other specialists within the reablement team to achieve your outcomes.
