Help to stay living at home

If you are struggling with everyday tasks (for example getting dressed or washed), if you have been discharged from hospital or have had an accident or illness, there are a number of services that can support you to stay living at home. 

Meals at home

Our meals at home service supplies fresh and nutritious hot and frozen meals direct to your home to help you stay living independently.

Equipment and adaptations 

Some simple equipment to help you is available or adaptions to your home may be needed. 

Reablement

We offer a short term service called 'reablement'. This service is free and carers come into your home to help you find the best way of doing tasks that you are finding difficult. Support is gradually withdrawn as your independence returns.

Find out more about our reablement service in this video.

 

 

For more information see our reablement factsheet.

If you are leaving hospital there are some services that can support you.

Home care and personal assistants
