Care Services Efficiency Delievery (CSED) has put together this online toolkit to help councils looking to introduce a new homecare re-ablement service or extend or improve an existing service. Organised into eight main sections, the toolkit tackles each of the critical aspects of designing and implementing a successful homecare re-ablement service. It covers both the rationale and benefits as well as project and service management, including tips, templates and case study examples to give practical help to council teams. The eight project steps that help lead to successful homecare re-ablement services are: 1. Setting the vision for a homecare re-ablement service, 2. Building a business case for homecare re-ablement, 3. The high level pathway - designing the optimum customer route through social care services, 4. Applying process design to homecare re-ablement services, 5. Developing the team and skills, 6. Establishing an effective performance management system to track and measure the service, 7. System and form design and 8. Implementing the new service - change and project management.

Homecare Re-ablement work seeks to improve choice and quality of life for adults who need care. Through the use of timely and focused intensive interventions, it will maximise long-term independence by appropriately minimising ongoing support required thereby minimising the whole life cost of care. This approach focuses on re-abling people so that they achieve their potential in terms of a stable level of independence with the lowest appropriate level of ongoing support or care. Various examples have been seen and reported whereby focused timely bursts of therapy, intermediate care or homecare can prevent hospital admission or post hospital transfer to long-term care, or appropriately reduce the level of ongoing home care support required

This interim report provides an update on a longitudinal study into the benefits of reablement care services. The complete study involved looking at three groups of intervention sites: those providing services with led by enabled staff; those led by mixed staff; and comparison sites where users had not undergone a phase of homecare re-ablement. This report provides details of the data collection process used in this part of the study; a summary of the main features of the five re-ablement services; key operating issues; and the views of study participants on enhancing and/or constraining the benefits of the re-ablement services in the shorter and longer terms. Some of the key findings include: discharge and onward referral arrangements; the team skill mix; staff commitment and skills; service users characteristics; and the importance of having a strong vision for the service. The final report is due in October 2010.

This interim report provides an update on a longitudinal study into the benefits of re-ablement care services. The complete study involved looking at three groups of intervention sites: those providing services with led by enabled staff; those led by mixed staff; and comparison sites where users had not undergone a phase of homecare re-ablement. This report provides details of the design and methods used; the main interim findings and the implications of these findings. The findings cover the impact of re-ablement on: social care outcomes; dependency levels; perceived quality of life; perceived health related quality of life; and on perceived help. The report concludes that people receiving enablement showed as significant short-term improvement in perceived health, quality of life and social care outcomes. The final report is due in October 2010.
