SCIE publish reablement resource 

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) in collaboration with the University of York has published a reablement resource. 

The resource provides evidence-informed guidance on addressing the barriers to securing, maintaining and maximising older people’s engagement with reablement, as well as family member’s support for their relative’s reablement programme. 

Kathryn Smith, SCIE Chief Executive, says: 

“Reablement is an important model of care that empowers people to continue living independently in their own homes for longer. It not only benefits the individual receiving the intervention, but also their loved ones, as it avoids the need to afford ongoing social care services and reduces the pressure on them to take on an unpaid carer role. More widely, it eases pressure on our overstretched and cash-strapped NHS and social care sector.”
