About this title

From the Back Cover

Paid care is one of the greatest financial burdens across the health and social care spectrum. Reablement services seek to reduce the need for paid care involving assistance with personal and domestic tasks, facilitating individuals to learn or re-learn activities of daily living following an illness, condition or acquired disability.

This ground-breaking text closely examines the question of what reablement actually is, as well as the meaning and implication of reablement services for services users, support staff and registered professionals. It explores reablement service models, evidence and research supporting them and the significance of personal engagement in meaningful activity and everyday living.

Features include:

•        Clear chapter objectives and summaries to help you consolidate your learning and track your progress
  
•         Specific points for reflection and a wealth of activities to encourage deeper discussion and test your understanding
  
•         Engaging case scenarios to help you apply what you have learned to everyday practice.
  

This authoritative text will develop the knowledge and understanding of students in this field on a wide range of courses – from nursing and occupational therapy to social work, counselling and beyond. It may also appeal to support staff and associated professionals already working in reablement services and associated fields of enquiry.
