| Annotation | Home care re-ablement is high on the English adult social care policy agenda. It aims to help people regain skills and confidence so they can live as independently as long as possible, thus reducing needs for longer term home care services. However, little is known about what re-ablement involves or how to organise services. The Department of Health (DH) has commissioned research into the longer term impact of re-ablement called 'Investigating the longer-term impact of home care re-ablement services' (see http://php.york.ac.uk/inst/spru/research/summs/rea... for further details). This first study of five well-established re-ablement services shows which features are considered to contribute to success, for example, staff (re)training and ongoing supervision; flexibility over the duration and content of visits; and prompt supply of equipment and independent living aids.
