| Annotation | Home care re-ablement is a relatively new, short-term intervention in social care in England. It aims to reduce needs for long-term support, by helping people (re)learn daily living skills. A large-scale study examined the longer-term impacts of home care re-ablement, the cost-effectiveness of re-ablement, and the content and organisation of re-ablement services. People receiving re-ablement were compared with those who received conventional home care; both groups were followed for up to one year. The findings are outlined in respect of re-ablement's cost-effectiveness, and its impact on quality of life and the costs of social care and health services. (RH). |
