Help to stay independent at home
Our Early Response Service (ERS) is provided by Universal Care Services in partnership with our Reablement team to help people to maintain their independence at home.
Being discharged from hospital
If you (or a relative) are being discharged from hospital, the hospital staff will discuss your needs and discharge arrangements with you and your family, if you would like them to be involved.
We call this our Home Discharge Service (HDS), which is provided by Nationwide Care Services.
Our care after a hospital stay page provides further information.
What to expect
Once HDS or ERS has started, someone from the hospital social work or Reablement teams will contact you to understand your goals and agree a plan. They will discuss:
- what is important to you to achieve
- what you need help with to achieve your goals
- what you would like to happen during and after reablement
This will help shape your reablement plan and provide guidance to the support workers for their approach.
Supporting services
To help you achieve your goals and maintain your independence, our Reablement team may work with Solihull Independent Living Service (SILS) to offer additional support. This may include:
Please refer to long-term and alternative support to find out what happens after reablement and alternative support if reablement is not suitable.
Check the quality of our reablement services
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) reviews and inspects health and social care services.
You can view the inspection reports for Nationwide Care Services and Universal Care Services who provide our HDS and ERS. They have overall ratings of Good.
