Reablement Intermediate Care is an ACTIVITY GROUP.

Reablement Intermediate Care provides clinical assessments and CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS to PATIENTS in their own home to enable the PERSON to recover skills, and regain confidence, and to maximise their independence.

• 
  
• Step down Reablement Intermediate Care:
  • provides care to PATIENTS (at home or in their community) following an admission to hospital and who are determined by a "medically optimised for discharge" decision making process to be no longer in need of hospital care
