Enablement

Sometimes, following an accident or illness, particularly after hospital discharge, you or a loved one may need a short period of Enablement Care to get you back on your feet.

Enablement involves short-term, intensive support. Our Enablement carers can help you to learn, or re-learn the important skills you need in everyday life. It is not about doing things for you, it is about giving you the skills, support and confidence to complete daily living tasks by yourself.

Our role is to support and encourage individuals to achieve their agreed, realistic objectives and personal goals whether that is preparing a meal or getting dressed unaided. Where appropriate we will also identify equipment that may assist.

The greatest benefit this service provides is to help you remain independent and therefore enable you to live at home for as long as possible. It may also mean that you do not become dependent on long-term support due to lack of mobility.
