Benefits to Reablement
Individuals benefit from increased independence and an improved quality of life.
For carers and family members, they can enjoy seeing their relative improve and can ultimately spend less time supporting or caring for them, and therefore more time just enjoying their company.
Offering and providing more support than people need can make them more dependent on others. Reablement support workers are trained to stand back, observe, encourage and prompt the individual to learn new skills or re-learn skills they may have lost.
Reablement is an approach that, irrespective of diagnosis, aims to assist people in continuing to live as they wish.
It enables the individual to do ordinary activities like cooking, washing, dressing, moving about the home, and going out.
