Monitoring and Reviewing Reablement (Community Activity Recovery Team)

1. The Role of Monitoring

Monitoring is a vital role in reablement and crucial in ensuring that:

  1. The Reablement Plan is working as intended;
  2. Progress is being made towards outcomes;
  3. Issues and risks to the plan are identified at an early stage; and
  4. The benefit of any equipment or assistive technology is being maximised.

2. The Purpose of Review

Review in reablement has a dual purpose to:

  1. Review the reablement provision itself; and
  2. Establish what the person's likely needs for Care and Support may (or may not) be when reablement ends.

The review conversation must broadly establish whether:

  1. The outcomes in the Reablement Plan have been achieved or not;
  2. The person has any new outcomes they want to meet; and
  3. Any improvements are required to the plan to achieve better outcomes;
  4. Whether there have been any changes to the person’s needs throughout the course of reablement; and
  5. Where there have been changes what those changes are, and whether or not the person is likely to need on-going support.

3. Local Procedures and Processes

All local procedures and processes for monitoring and reviewing reablement should be followed. These can be found in the Local Resources area by clicking here.
