We are a community based service who give
assistance to people with rehabilitation needs. This includes
giving advice on how to manage at home.
Our team includes social workers, occupational therapists,
physiotherapists, home care staff and intermediate care assistants
with access to nurses.
The aim is to give short-term assistance to enable you to manage
independently from as little as a few days up to a maximum of six
weeks.
The service is free but time limited and open to adults aged 18
and over who are experiencing reduced ability and independence as a
result of physical illness or injury and who would benefit from a
short period of multi-disciplinary rehabilitation.
The help you receive will depend on your needs as assessed and
reviewed by our team of professional. These services can include
the following:
- rehabilitation for every day activities such as getting
dressed
- practical help with tasks until you are able to do
yourself
- advice on how to adapt routine tasks so you can manage
independently
- liaison with other community services like district nurses, GPs
and social services
These services are available within your home, following
discharge from hospital and in order to prevent an unnecessary
admission to hospital or residential care.
If you need ongoing home care this will be subject to our Home
Care Charging Policy.
All staff are employed by
North Somerset Primary Care
Trust or North Somerset Council.
