Reclaiming independence; Southport Care Home launches reablement care for residents

Here at Dovehaven Residential Home, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new reablement care program! Designed specifically for younger residents aged 50 and above, this program caters to individuals who have recently experienced a physical or mental illness and require support in regaining their independence.

What is Reablement Care?

Reablement is a short-term, goal-oriented approach to care that focuses on empowering residents to rediscover their abilities and return to living as independently as possible. Through a personalised care plan, our dedicated team works alongside residents to identify their individual needs and create a program that fosters a sense of achievement and self-reliance.

Benefits of Reablement Care:

• Improved Physical and Mental Wellbeing: Reablement care encourages residents to participate in activities that enhance their physical strength, cognitive function, and overall well-being. This can include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and tailored exercise programs.
• Increased Confidence and Self-Esteem: By regaining skills and independence, residents experience a boost in confidence and self-esteem. This sense of accomplishment is crucial for a positive outlook and a smoother transition back to independent living.
• Reduced Length of Stay: Reablement is a time-limited program designed to get residents back on their feet quickly and efficiently. This not only benefits residents but also allows us to welcome new individuals seeking support on their road to recovery.
