Board Assurance Prompt – telecare supported re-ablement

Re-ablement: a cost-effective route to better outcomes

This briefing is targeted at Local Authority councillors with an interest in Adult Social Care, Local Authority Directors of Adult Social Services, NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), Members of Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) and others involved in planning, commissioning and delivering re-ablement services. Its purpose is to encourage decision makers to understand the development of re-ablement as the primary service for helping people retain independent lives in their homes and in the community, and to debate specific proposals to improve service quality. It is also intended to identify the value of embedding the use of telecare in the delivery of re-ablement services, in terms of improved outcomes and use of resources.
