A reablement approach to living well at home
Having a home care package allows the older person to get services and support to keep them well and independent at home for as long as possible. These services and support can be so much more than “care”.
Enlisting a team of clinicians who can help improve the older person’s strength, mobility and overall health can allow them to regain some independence. This also contributes to a person’s ability to continue to live at home.
In this episode:
- Care and support for activities of daily living
- Use your home care package funding to remain well and independent at home
- Reablement is an option that can run alongside care
- Hospital admissions and deconditioning
- Discussion about how we’ve used this approach with our mum

Our story started as one of supporting our parents to remain in their own home, to be as independent as possible and remain connected to their community.
