Reablement is short-term support that takes place in your own home following a change in your health or care needs. This is to help you become independent and have the confidence to do the things you used to do, so you can stay living in your own home.
To promote independence, we may offer you support with personal hygiene, meal preparation and light chores such as washing up and taking out the rubbish. It’s not about doing things for you, it’s about giving you the skills and confidence to get back to doing everyday tasks and activities yourself, in a safe way.
The Reablement service is free and is for adults who live in the borough of Kingston-upon Thames who are likely to benefit from our support.
It is delivered by staff employed by Your Healthcare, the organisation responsible for community healthcare in Kingston, on behalf of Kingston Borough Council. Our team includes different experts who will help you to get your confidence back and do the things that are important to you in your daily life.
