Reablement Programme
An initiative that targets seniors at risk of functional decline, providing them with support to restore their ability to safely perform day-to-day tasks.
Optimising the Potential of Our Seniors
Funded by the Tote Board Community Health Fund, our Reablement Programme proactively aims to restore seniors’ day-to-day functional abilities. Through this 12-week home-based initiative, seniors will regain the capacity to independently manage all or some aspects of their daily tasks in a safe manner.
We focus on a “doing with” rather than a “doing for” approach with our seniors. This empowers them to become more independent, confident, and enjoy a better quality of life.
The Support We Offer
- Personalised intervention for seniors and their caregivers
- Building sustainable care networks and solutions for seniors using their available resources
- Co-develop strategies to fulfil seniors’ personalised goals
- Utilisation of motivational interviewing techniques and learning strategies
- Health coaching and psycho-social support
- Empowering seniors to take an active role in their recovery
- Optimisation of seniors’ strengths and potential
