Reablement is about giving adults the opportunity and confidence to relearn and regain some of the skills they may have lost because of poor health, disability or impairment, following a spell in hospital or problems at home.

Reablement aims to:

• Enable people to stay in their own homes
• Keep or improve independence and safety in all areas of daily living.
• Improve quality of life
• It provides support for a short time to help you become asindependent as possible.
• You may need support with aspects of day-to-dayliving such as personal care, preparing meals and shopping.

The service is free for people aged 18 and over who live in the Borough of Darlington and who are at significant risk of losing their independence.

Local service (Darlington).

Reablement is free of charge while you take part in the service.
