Summary: The London Borough of Enfield is exploring a borough-wide Reablement Care Service for eligible Enfield residents who need help after hospital discharge. This is a health and social work service providing short-term, time-limited, person-centred support in residents’ own homes. The purpose is to help people regain or maintain independence, confidence, mobility and daily living skills, establish safe routines and manage everyday tasks, while reducing or avoiding the need for ongoing domiciliary care where safe. The service would cover hospital discharge pathways only and use an enabling approach focused on doing with, rather than doing for, individuals. Delivery is expected across Enfield, potentially divided into North West, South West, North East and South East areas, with one supplier for each area.
