Helping people rebuild independence after brain injury and neurological conditions

Working alongside you

Reablement is about doing things with people, not for them. We take time to understand what matters to each person: the routines they want to rebuild, the activities they want to return to, the relationships and communities they want to reconnect with, and the goals they want to achieve.

We work alongside people at their own pace, providing practical support, encouragement and opportunities to build confidence through everyday experiences. That might mean preparing a meal, getting out into the community, managing a daily routine, returning to a hobby, rebuilding social connections, or developing the confidence to do something independently.

Our team works together around the person, rather than expecting the person to fit around a service. We share information, coordinate support and adapt as needs, confidence and goals change. Families, friends and referrers can be involved where the person wants them to be, helping create consistent support around everyday life.

What that looks like day to day

• Getting back into a daily routine. Establishing morning routines, preparing meals, managing household tasks and planning the day.

• Building confidence outside the home. Going shopping, using public transport, visiting a cafe, or getting back to familiar places.

• Reconnecting with interests. Returning to hobbies, sport, volunteering, gardening, music or other meaningful activities.

• Developing independence. Gradually reducing reliance on family or support workers where that is the right thing to do.

• Rebuilding social connections. Reconnecting with friends, family, clubs and community activities.

• Working towards personal goals. Supporting someone to achieve the things they want to achieve, rather than focusing solely on an impairment or a diagnosis.

• Preparing for the next step. Building the confidence and practical skills to move towards greater independence, education, volunteering, employment or community participation.

We support people to develop the confidence and practical skills they need to take part in everyday life and work towards the things that matter to them.
