Reablement
The Reablement Service helps you regain the skills and confidence you need to live independently at home, particularly after an illness or a stay in hospital.
It is available for up to six weeks for people aged 18 and over who live in Warwickshire. The aim is to assist you to manage your daily activities like washing, dressing, cooking and shopping. We will also advise you about safety issues to help you reduce the risk of falls for example.
The service will reduce your need for ongoing support services by improving your practical abilities so that you can do more for yourself.
If you have ongoing care needs, you will be entitled to an assessment where we will talk to you about the care and support needs you have and how these needs can be met.

This service may not be suitable for everyone as you may still need a higher level of care. This service is only available if you can consistently participate in reablement and have the potential to benefit from a reablement programme.
Community Recovery Service
The Community Recovery Service (CRS), which supports people discharged from hospital with short-term recovery needs, is now managed by South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) instead of Warwickshire County Council.
This change occurred after a successful two-year pilot in October 2025. Hospital teams now refer patients directly to SWFT, which will provide up to six weeks of domiciliary care and therapy support where needed.
Warwickshire County Council will continue to play a key role by supporting individuals after they exit the CRS pathway and will carry out Care Act Assessments for those with ongoing care needs, based on referrals received through its Customer Service Centre – Supporting People Team.
These changes reflect a collaborative effort to improve integrated care and outcomes for residents across Warwickshire. If you have any questions or require further information, please refer to Community Recovery Service (CRS): South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust
