Overview of support for adults
Getting back up to speed - Reablement
People often get in touch with us for the first time after something has changed.
It might be a fall or an accident means you can't manage things yourself for a while, or maybe the death of a partner or a problem with a carer has left you struggling to manage on your own for the first time.
We think the best way to deal with this is to help you regain your independence as soon as possible so you can get on with your life.
It might be making some changes to your home to make it easier to get about, or helping you learn to pay bills and manage money for the first time.
We call this reablement and you can find out more on our reablement pages.
Reablement isn't right for everyone, so some people with more complex, longer-term needs won't use this service.
You might also find out information about going into and coming out of hospital useful.
