What Is Reablement & Rehab Support?
Reablement and rehabilitation support is a short‑term, goal‑focused service that helps individuals regain independence after a hospital stay, illness, injury, or period of reduced mobility. Unlike long‑term care, reablement is designed to help you recover skills and confidence so you can return to living independently at home.
Our carers work alongside rehab professionals such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and community rehabilitation teams. This ensures every task — from mobility practice to daily routines — aligns with therapeutic goals and clinical advice.
Reablement is ideal for:
- Individuals recovering from falls, surgery, stroke, or illness
- People who have recently returned home from hospital
- Anyone needing structured support to rebuild mobility, balance, and function
- Those who want to regain skills rather than rely on long‑term care
We focus on structured progression, safety, and steady improvement — helping you recover confidence while reducing the risk of setbacks or re‑hospitalisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is reablement support?
Reablement focuses on helping individuals regain daily living skills after illness, injury, or hospital discharge. It is short‑term, structured, and goal‑driven.
Is this the same as regular home care?
No. Regular home care provides ongoing assistance. Reablement is temporary and helps you rebuild independence so you need less long‑term support.
Do you work with physiotherapists and rehab teams?
Yes. We follow set therapy plans, communicate with professionals when needed, and ensure tasks support clinical rehabilitation goals.
Who is reablement suitable for?
Anyone recovering from surgery, stroke, falls, illness, or reduced mobility. It is especially helpful after leaving hospital.
How long does reablement last?
This varies depending on goals — typically a few weeks to a few months. We review progress regularly and adjust support as you improve.
Do you cover my area?
We provide reablement support across Okehampton and nearby villages within a 15‑mile radius.
