About Reablement Service

We provide reablement support at home for people across Dorchester and the surrounding parts of Dorset. Our work is short term and has a clear purpose: to help somebody get back on their feet after an illness, a fall, a hospital stay or a period when things have become harder, so that they can manage at home again with as little ongoing support as possible. That means we work ourselves out of a job wherever we can. Rather than doing things for people, we help them do things for themselves, one step at a time, at a pace that suits. We support older people, people living with dementia, adults who have a learning disability and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people living with a physical disability, people with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Goals are set with the person and reviewed regularly, and we are honest when somebody needs longer term support instead, helping them arrange it rather than leaving them to it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you or a relative have been referred to us, or you want to know what reablement actually involves, please get in touch and we will explain it plainly.
