Objective To propose an evidence-based set of recommendations that will assist Ealing to ensure its reablement offer better meets the needs of working age adults and helps prevent people drifting into long term adult social care. Key elements include: * Exploring how a stronger reablement and recovery focus could reduce reliance on long term care particularly for people following a period of poor mental health or a hospital admission. * Identifying current skills and knowledge gaps of staff, what skills will be needed in any future model and a workforce plan as to how these could be addressed. * Recommending adaptations to existing services and support mechanisms so they are more responsive to working age adults * Further work on functional occupational therapy assessments for people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and people with mental health needs, including support to sustain employment.
