Disabled people - independence at home
Summary of Service
Sometimes after sudden illness or injury people find themselves needing help to manage at home, or even having to consider going into permanent residential or nursing home care. These will be the right choices for many, but Wiltshire Community Services Department is now able to offer a number of short-term services, either in your home, in a day centre, or in "special" residential care settings, which involve active programmes of rehabilitation to help you regain your independence. Equally some people in residential and nursing home care may decide they are able to manage in their own home again, but need help to make the move.
Rehabilitation aims to:
- rebuild your skills and confidence in doing everyday activities
- teach you new skills to help you manage at home
- keep you out of hospital, or permanent residential care, unless this really is the right choice for you.
