Newham Reablement Service
Newham Reablement Service - Helping You Regain and Remain Independence at Home
The Reablement Service supports adults (18+) to regain everyday skills after a period of illness, a falls, or after a stay in hospital. It’s designed to help you do things for yourself—like cooking, making a cup of tea, dressing, or moving around—so you can live as independently as possible.
Key Features:
- Free, short-term support at home (up to 6 weeks; typically lasting 3–4 weeks)
- Personalised goals created and agreed with you and the Reablement officer
- Support with daily tasks such as washing, dressing, walking in your home and cooking
- Equipment or technology this will be provided if it is needed to help you do things for yourself
Who Can Use It?
You may benefit if you:
- Are recovering from a hospital stay
- Are struggling to manage at home
- Want to improve your wellbeing or independence
- Are a carer supporting someone to do more for themselves
How It Works:
- Contact the Access to Adult Social Care Team – see right for details
- Assessment visit by a Reablement Team member
- Tailored plan based on your goals, and what is important to you
- Support delivered at home to help you achieve those goals
- Reviews we’ll check-in regularly and adjust your goals if necessary
After Reablement
If you need ongoing support, we’ll help you explore options. This may include referrals to community services or adaptations such as a wet room of stairlift. If eligible, you may receive continued care through Adult Social Care (subject to financial assessment).
