Research Article: Factors Impacting User Engagement in Reablement: A Qualitative Study of User, Family Member and Practitioners’ Views

Date Published: 2023-05-12

Abstract:
Reablement is an intensive, time-limited intervention delivered in people’s homes with the objective of maintaining or regaining skills and capacity to manage daily activities and maximize independence. Daily visits by trained staff support regaining of skills and confidence with equipment often introduced to support this. The intention is that, over time, the frequency of visits is reduced culminating in discharge with no onward referral to long-term care. The key principles distinguishing reablement from “traditional” homecare are its independence-oriented, strengths-based approach, the practice of “doing with” as opposed to “doing for”, and a risk aware, as opposed to risk averse, approach.– Emerging in the mid-s, reablement represented a paradigmatic shift in the approach to the care and support of older people.,– The growing challenges of population ageing, and unsustainable demands on long-term care, have driven its implementation in many developed economies, though the way it has been operationalized varies.,,–
