I need help regaining my independence
We can help you to build your confidence and skills after an illness or a fall, and help you to maximise your independence and regain your skills.
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.
Eligibility and cost
You would be suitable for the reablement service if you:
- live in Hillingdon
- are over 18 years old
- have the potential to live independently

How do I arrange reablement?
If you are currently in hospital you will normally be referred to reablement by the hospital discharge team.
If you are at home, a direct referral can be made to the social care team by yourself or someone acting on your behalf with your full consent.
