Enablement

CERT - Community Enablement & Reablement Team

Who are we? We are a new pilot service in North West Leicestershire. We will be working with people referred into Adults & Communities who need support to find meaningful day time activity

The Department of Health states that enablement / Reablement provides: (2007) ‘Services for people with poor physical or mental health to help them accommodate their illness by learning or relearning skills necessary for daily living’ (2010) ‘Reablement services help people to regain independence after a crisis and can have a significant positive impact on people’s quality of life’

Evidence suggests that people who are able to access reablement provision at an earlier stage in their illness or disability are more likely to reduce, delay or eliminate their need for longer term support from social care and health services Early intervention services should support people who are living in the community to improve or maintain their independence through easy access to appropriate and timely skilled support, and a better knowledge of the wider support available

So what is Enablement? 

Enablement is intensive short term support that aims to encourage and assist people to lead as independent and fulfilling a life as they can, in the way that they choose



Enablement is about supporting people to learn or re-learn important skills for everyday life



It supports people to achieve their optimum level of independence with the lowest appropriate level of support

Good support services…… 

To work with carers and universal services, building on community based support to create opportunity and meet people’s outcomes
