Reablement services

It’s good to have a supporting hand to get you back on your feet

logoComplex Care

After an illness or injury, you might need some extra care and support to regain your independence at home. We’re here to help with reablement services, especially if you’re transitioning from a hospital stay back to your own space.

Reablement is a little different from traditional home care. Our Care Experts are specially trained to help you build your independence again. We also understand the emotional challenges that can come with recovery—for both you and your loved ones. 

That’s why we focus on helping you develop strong coping skills, so you can regain your confidence and independence as quickly as possible.

What is reablement care?

Reablement care is short-term help at home that you might need after an illness, surgery, or a hospital stay. It’s all about helping you get back on your feet and regain your independence.

For example, if you’ve had an operation or been unwell, reablement care can support you with everyday tasks like getting dressed, moving around, or cooking until you feel strong enough to do them on your own again. 

Sometimes people call it post-operative care, but reablement is more focused on helping you get back to doing things by yourself, with a clear goal of becoming independent again.

  • Meal preparation – From planning your meals to cooking, we’ll assist you until you feel ready to manage it on your own again.
