Reablement
Our service is provided by our specially trained staff who will focus on observing, guiding and supporting you to do things independently.
The Reablement service is free and is for adults who live in the borough of Kingston-upon Thames who are likely to benefit from our support.
Reablement is short-term support that takes place in your own home following a change in your health or care needs. This is to help you become independent and have the confidence to do the things you used to do, so you can stay living in your own home.
To promote independence, we may offer you support with meal preparation, light chores such as washing up and taking out the rubbish and personal hygiene. It’s not about doing things for you, it’s about giving you the skills and confidence to get back to doing everyday tasks and activities yourself, in a safe way.
What we do
Reablement refers to the short term care you receive after experiencing an illness or injury. Its main aim is to allow you to gain or regain confidence, by acquiring the necessary skills which will enable you to live as independently as possible.
It is provided by our specially trained staff who will focus on observing, guiding and supporting you to do things independently.
