At Wisteria Care, we believe there’s no place like home, especially when you’re recovering from illness, injury, or a hospital stay. We offer compassionate, professional reablement care to help you or your loved one regain independence and rebuild confidence in the comfort of familiar surroundings.
What is reablement care?
Reablement care is a short-term support service designed to help people get back on their feet (both physically and metaphorically) after a period of illness, surgery, or injury. Unlike long-term care services, reablement focuses on helping individuals recover and return to independent living as quickly and safely as possible.
Rather than continuing recovery in a hospital or care facility, reablement care allows those needing care support services to continue their recovery at home. It’s a supportive, yet empowering approach that helps individuals to restore daily living skills and work towards regaining the level of self-sufficiency they had before the illness or injury.
Recovery at home: The Wisteria Care way
As a dedicated home care provider, we’ve seen the impact recovery at home has on individuals whose physical confidence and wellbeing has taken a hit. There’s a sense of calm and reassurance that comes from being surrounded by personal belongings in your own home – and having access to the people and places who form an essential part of your life.
Our carers are here to support you (or your loved one) every step of the way with a tailored reablement care plan. Whether it’s support after surgery, help regaining strength after a fall, or gentle guidance as you relearn everyday tasks; we take the time to understand your goals, preferences, and medical needs, so we can support your recovery at home in a way that works best for you.
What does reablement care involve?
We help Individuals to regain or maintain as much independence as possible. Our reablement carers are trained to assist with a wide range of daily activities, empowering individuals and supporting them on their journey of recovery.
Support may include:
– discreet personal care such as washing and dressing
– assistance with meal planning and preparation
– light household chores and laundry
– medication reminders and administration
– help with mobility and getting around the home safely
– support to stay socially connected or attend community activities
– looking after beloved pets
– friendly companionship and emotional encouragement
We’ll coordinate with healthcare and social care professionals (including doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists) to ensure we create a comprehensive enablement care plan.
