Reablement Care: Regaining Independence After Illness or Injury
At Homecare Ipswich, we believe that recovery should be empowering, not limiting. Our Reablement Care service is designed to help individuals regain confidence, mobility, and independence after an illness, injury, or hospital stay. With tailored support and professional guidance, we focus on helping individuals rebuild daily living skills so they can return to their normal routines as safely and quickly as possible.
What is Reablement Care?
Reablement Care is a short-term, intensive support service aimed at helping individuals regain lost abilities following a period of ill health, surgery, or hospitalisation. Unlike traditional home care, reablement is designed to be goal-oriented, helping individuals develop skills, strength, and confidence to live independently again.
This service is ideal for those who:
✔ Need help regaining strength and mobility after an illness or hospital stay.
✔ Have had a fall, injury, or accident and require assistance with recovery.
✔ Are adjusting to new physical limitations and need support regaining independence.
✔ Want to avoid hospital admission by improving self-care skills at home.
✔ Require temporary support to regain confidence before returning to full independence.
Our Reablement Care Services Include:
✔ Personal Care & Hygiene Assistance – Helping with bathing, dressing, and grooming while regaining ability.
✔ Mobility & Rehabilitation Support – Encouraging safe movement and gentle exercises to restore strength.
✔ Medication Management – Ensuring correct medication intake and health monitoring.
✔ Nutritional Support & Meal Preparation – Encouraging healthy eating to support recovery.
✔ Household Assistance – Providing light cleaning, laundry, and tidying to create a safe living environment.
✔ Confidence-Building Activities – Supporting individuals in regaining the skills needed for independent living.
✔ Companionship & Emotional Support – Offering encouragement and reassurance during the recovery process.
✔ Goal-Based Progress Tracking – Setting achievable milestones and adapting care plans as recovery progresses.
✔ Collaboration with Therapists & Healthcare Teams – Working with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and GPs to maximise recovery.
