One Year of Community Reablement in Walsall
We are proud to celebrate one year of the Community Reablement pilot in Walsall, delivered in partnership with Walsall Council. Together we have focused on practical, short term home care that helps people build confidence, strengthen daily routines and stay independent at home.
Key takeaway: reablement works best when goals are clear, visits are consistent and progress is reviewed regularly.

What reablement home care means in practice
Reablement is time limited, goal focused home care. Support is tailored to what matters day to day, such as:
- structuring mornings and mealtimes
- safe personal care with dignity
- short walks and gentle confidence building
- prompts that keep helpful habits on track
- encouragement to reconnect with local activities
For broader wellbeing at home, read Mental Well-being for Older Adults and ideas in Combatting Loneliness.
What we have learned in year one
- Set simple goals that people can achieve and measure each week
- Keep visits consistent so routines stick and confidence grows
- Review and adjust quickly when something is not working
- Involve families so support continues between visits
