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…… Are individualised and person centred
Are about people, not buildings
Treat family and carers as experts
Create and offer real choices
Are cost effective, imaginative and flexible
Support families
Good support services…… Provide advocacy
Predict need for future support
Use assistive technology
Promote independence and social inclusion
Improve people’s quality of life, confidence, self esteem and enable personal development
Enable people to fulfil their potential
Our Aims - To empower people and enable them to
remain in their own homes and communities by supporting and promoting their independence
To improve health and well being, reduce the need for ongoing longer term support and enable individuals to become active and valued members of their own communities
More Aims To support individual ability, concentrating on skills
and the things that people can do
To enable people to gain the skills and build the confidence they need to do the things they want to do
To look for alternatives to traditional day care services, meeting people’s wants and needs in a person centred way
To work with carers and universal services, building on community based support to create opportunity and meet people’s outcomes
Outcomes
To maximise independence, choice & control for all users of Adults & Communities
To minimise and delay the need for long term social care support
To reduce isolation and increase self esteem
To build stronger communities
