Our Christmas message for 2023

The ecard for 2023 focuses on the Council's Reablement team and how it helps people regain their independence, so they can continue enjoying life.

The Reablement team provides short-term support for people for up to six weeks following a period of illness, including help with daily tasks like getting in and out of bed, changing, making food and more.

The team also works closely with occupational therapists to make any adaptations needed to the person's home, so they can regain their independence as quickly as possible.

Many of the people supported by Reablement will have had a stay in hospital, with the team helping them return home in their own comforts and easing the pressure on NHS services at the same time.
