REABLEMENT SUPPORT
If you or someone you know has been in hospital with an illness, for treatment, or for surgery, temporary care at home may be required to help with successful recovery whilst maintaining and developing independence.
The aim of reablement support is to help the individual with any post-illness or post-surgery treatment and aftercare for as long as is needed – this may be weeks, months or long term. An important factor to help aid recovery is to allow the individual to remain independent at home, helping them to lead as normal a life as possible.
If you think a loved one could benefit from reablement support, you can either arrange this through the hospital before discharge or contact Halcyon Care directly to find out how we can help your loved one remain comfortable and supported at home.
There are significant benefits to requesting reablement support, such as:
• Avoiding unnecessary admission to hospital
• Maintaining independence after and illness or surgery
• Help and support from the comfort of the home when daily tasks become difficult
• Take away the need for a stay at a rehabilitation centre or moving permanently into a residential home
• Improve confidence when living at home independently

How can Halcyon Care help?
Assistance getting in and out of bed each evening and morning
If you or a loved one are already receiving care at home but require additional support after an illness it may mean that reablement support is provided for a short period of time. We work around clients and their families to manage the progression of an individual from hospital, through reablement and to continued care and support. This allows our Care Specialists to monitor the condition and abilities of the people we care for whilst also making sure the correct level of support is being provided.
For those living with dementia, a prolonged stay in hospital can be distressing, especially when staying in a noisy or unfamiliar environment. Reablement support can allow those more vulnerable to receive the care they require in familiar surroundings. Our Care Specialists can advise which specialised dementia care your loved one could benefit from and provide that much-needed encouragement and support to carry out everyday tasks.
