“A valuable and timely resource for policy makers and practitioners. Robust cross-country and interdisciplinary research shows how reablement can reduce long-term care costs, improve wellbeing and professionalise care work.” Caroline Glendinning, University of York

“Policies that prevent poor health as people age, help them participate in communities and provide people-centred care are imperative for societal wellbeing and a healthy economy. In this inspiring book, the authors trace the path for re-enabling in long-term care.” Francesca Colombo, OECD

Our societies are ageing, and we need to identify sustainable and person-centred solutions for supporting frail older people in their homes. Reablement offers a radical new integrated care approach which supports older people to regain and maintain functioning and independence. This interdisciplinary book provides an introduction to the remarkable, if haphazard, international growth in reablement policies and practices in aged care over the past 20 years. Incorporating theoretical and empirical research, it considers benefits for clients and care workers, cost-saving potentials and reablement provision for people with dementia. Finally, the book reflects on key findings, challenges and the way forward for long-term care for older people. The introduction, 'The concept, rationale, and implications of reablement', is available Open Access via Bristol University Press Digital.
