The Skills for Independent Living (SkILs) reablement service supports adults to look after themselves independently, following a change in circumstance, illness, injury or time spent in hospital.
Who we help
Reablement is different to traditional home care. We help and support people to:
- regain and develop the confidence and skills they need to stay living in their own home for as long as they can
- do as much as possible for themselves rather than having others do things for them
What we do
Support we offer includes:
- a short-term service delivered in a person’s own home which supports them to maximise their independence, improve their quality of life and achieve their desired outcomes
- help for perople to regain their ability to do everyday tasks or use equipment to maintain these abilities
We work closely with health partners and the third sector to facilitate admissions and ensure smooth and timely discharge from hospital to home.
How to get support
Professional referral is through the hospital and community healthcare teams.
