Intermediate care and reablement includes a range of services potentially available to people who are leaving hospital or to people who are at risk of hospital admission without timely and focused intervention.
In its approach, the care service follows the guidance issued by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), Intermediate Care Including Reablement (NG 74) and aims to achieve Quality Standard QS173 (2018).
Selekt Care Ltd recognizes that home-based intermediate care:
- is targeted at people who would otherwise face unnecessarily prolonged hospital stays or inappropriate admission to acute in-patient care, long-term residential care, or continuing NHS in-patient care
- is provided after a comprehensive assessment, resulting in a structured individual care plan that involves active therapy, treatment or opportunity for recovery
- has a planned outcome of maximising independence and typically enabling service user/users to resume or remain living at home
- is time limited (normally no longer than six weeks and frequently as little as one to two weeks or less)
- Involves cross-professional working, with a unified assessment framework, single professional records and shared protocols.
Selekt Care Ltd recognizes that most reablement programs will be planned by the multidisciplinary team responsible for developing the local intermediate care provision; as such an experience and well trained carer will be matched to service user to implement care package designed for quick recovery..
