Intermediate care at home and reablement are short-term services that aim to support and encourage individuals who have experienced a change in their circumstances.

The focused approach is to become as independent as possible within their own limitations. After an assessment is completed the team can work with individuals to regain skills and build confidence. The types of support available include personal care, meal preparation, continence care, mobility, medication support. 

Team structure

The service is registered with CQC and consists of a team manager, two deputy managers, administration assistants, senior reablement support workers and reablement support workers. The service is part of the wider intermediate care tier services and has access to occupational therapists, physiotherapists and nurses.

The team operates from 7am to 11pm, seven days per week. It is available for people aged 18 and over who have a Warrington GP, or pay council tax to us and have rehabilitation goals. The service is accessed via a referral thorough single point of access, hospital discharge team or first response service.
