Videos on reablement
Reablement is a strengths-based, person-centred approach that promotes and maximises independence and wellbeing. It aims to ensure positive change using user-defined goals and is designed to enable people to gain, or regain, their confidence, ability, and necessary skills to live as independently as possible, especially after an illness, deterioration in health or injury.
The role of carers and families in reablement
This film for health and adult social care commissioners and people who use reablement and their carers introduces Jill Hunter, who was recently discharged from hospital with limited mobility. We hear how crucially important it is for families and carers to buy into the reablement ethos and contribute to its success.
The business case of reablement
This film for health and adult social care commissioners introduces reablement, which we see in operation with Jill Hunter, recently discharged from hospital following surgery. We also see how investment in a ‘step-down' reablement unit has facilitated far more hospital discharges, reducing health costs.
