Short term help at home
If you've just come out of hospital, or have had a period of illness and aren't coping at home, you may just need some extra support at home to get back on your feet. Surrey’s Adult Social Care Reablement Service can support you for as little as a couple of days up to a maximum of 6 weeks to help you relearn skills, regain confidence, or master new skills.
