What is Enablement?
The Enablement Service can help you to regain living skills, confidence, and mobility. Some people work with the Enablement Service when they have been in hospital. Others need support to help them to continue living at home.
The Enablement Service can:
- Provide guidance about daily activities, such as personal care and dressing, and preparing your own meals.
- Arrange for assistive living technology, such as alarms that you wear around your neck or wrist to alert someone if you fall.
- Arrange for equipment like perching stools that will make activities easier and safer.
This service is free for up to six weeks. This may change if we assess that your independence has been reached, or that you need ongoing care and support. If this is the case, you will need a financial assessment.
