In this episode, Hilary O’Connell has invited Alison Vella, Quality and Practice Lead at Aspire4Life to join her to discuss the ‘why’ and ‘what’ of reablement, and what it can look like, including how to encourage clients to implement new habits and ideas to support their long-term independence.

The essence of reablement for Alison means: “encouraging and supporting someone to feel happy and satisfied, to get back to where they were or move ahead to where they want to be. That might be socially, functionally, or emotionally, it can be about their confidence and allowing them more freedom to be more independent.”

Hilary and Alison also discuss the importance of considering all areas of wellness and reablement as a holistic approach, including emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and environmental wellbeing and health.
