| Annotation | Reablement is generally designed to help people learn or relearn the skills necessary for daily living which may have been lost through deterioration in health and/or increased support needs. A focus on regaining physical ability is central, as is active reassessment. This research briefing is based on a scoping study carried out from September to November 2010, and is one of a series about preventive care and support for adults. It finds that compared with conventional home care, reablement is significantly associated with better health-related quality of life and social care outcomes. Service users and carers generally view reablement in a positive light: they welcome the improved independence and the increase in confidence which reablement can bring. This briefing considers what people will do differently as a result of reablement, along with the organisational and cost implications. It also notes gaps in, and limitations of, the research evidence. (RH). |
