What a neuro physiotherapist does, how it differs from occupational therapy, and how physiotherapy fits with reablement to rebuild movement at home.
What an occupational therapist contributes to reablement, from everyday function assessments to equipment, adaptations and graded activity.
How progress is recorded and reviewed in reablement, from meaningful goals to real-world outcomes rather than simply hours of input.
How person-centred goals are agreed, broken into achievable steps and reviewed against everyday life rather than counted in hours.
A plain walkthrough of what a reablement visit and a typical week actually look like, and what a support worker does alongside the person.
A clear picture of the first few weeks of reablement, from referral and assessment to matching, first goals and early reviews.
