A practical resource to support those developing reablement services for people with memory problems or dementia in Wales who are living in their own homes or sheltered accommodation. The document is divided into sections which can be used individually or as a whole development manual. Sections cover: starting up a reablement service for people with memory problems or a dementia; eligibility criteria and access to services; the reablement journey for the individual; communication, informal carers, risk, assistive technology, transfer of support in a reablement service, and evaluation of the reablement service for people with memory problems or a dementia. The resource has been developed with input from individuals and informal carers with knowledge and experience of a reablement service for people with memory problems or dementia, and professionals from statutory and third sector organisations.
