Reablement West provides exceptional levels of Reablement support across West Northants in people’s own homes. We work to provide a fast, responsive service to individuals, who without immediate support, will be at risk of either being admitted to an acute hospital or care home or will be unnecessarily delayed from returning home. Our friendly and committed staff provide the highest level of Reablement support to vulnerable adults in West Northants.

We apply strength-based ways of working to enable people to regain their independence whilst assessing risks associated, which will include arranging equipment, connecting people to community resources and support, and increasing people’s skills and confidence.

Our approach:
* Focuses on a person’s strengths to promote and maximise independence and wellbeing.
* Rebuilds confidence after a spell of illness, deterioration in health, an injury, a hospital admission, or an acquired disability.
* Is different to traditional home care as it involves care providers standing back and encouraging the promotion of self-care skills that may have been lost.
* Supports people to regain or retain skills to enable them to manage with minimal or no support.
* Short-term and intensive.
* About setting and working toward meaningful goals.
* Aims to reconnect people with their communities to reduce social isolation.
* Can help to reduce the amount of care the person needs from carers and family.
* Reablement has a multi-disciplinary approach which means the teams work with one another to ensure your plan is person centred.### About you
