I need help regaining my independence

Reablement is a short and intensive service designed to help people progress their recovery after illness or disability by learning or re-learning the skills necessary for daily living whist promoting maximum independence.

This service is generally provided for a very short period. Service users often meet their goals within the first 4 weeks with an optional futher 2 weeks if their aims and goals are achievable.

How do I arrange reablement?
