What is rehabilitation and recuperation?
Rehabilitation and recuperation is the period spent recovering from illness or injury, when someone works towards returning to their former health or physical state.
Your doctor or surgeon will advise you on the best way to do this; for illness, this might include certain foods or supplements, an exercise plan, or techniques to relax and relieve physical tension. Recovery after surgery may include any of these things, as well as prescribed pain medication, physical therapy or exercises relevant to the affected area, wound care if necessary, or temporary bed rest.
The advice you will receive will be personalised to your situation, so make sure that you follow it closely.
What is rehabilitation and recuperation care?
Rehabilitation and recuperation care is there to support you in any way you need. From assistance with arranging discharge from hospital or attending clinic appointments, to helping with daily tasks such as household cleaning, laundry, personal care, medication administration, meal preparation, or getting out into the community. Home Instead can also provide more specific support around complex health needs such as catheters, enteral tubes, and stoma orbasic wound care. We are even there to support with any rehabilitation programmes that you may have been provided.
The benefits of rehabilitation and recuperation care
Our Care Professionals are fully trained and assessed as competent in your specialist care needs to support you in the best way, often relieving pressure on family caregivers.

FAQ's
Do I need rehabilitation care?
Whether your illness or injury meant you were in hospital or could stay in your own home, it can leave many people feeling drained. It is important that you don’t rush back into doing as much as you did beforehand. Extra help around the house with daily tasks can remove pressure and allow you time to recover.
Is my home the right place for my rehabilitation?
Many people find that they benefit from care in their own home, allowing them to recover in a familiar environment rather than having to adjust to new surroundings.
How long will I need rehabilitation care?
Rehabilitation care is often only needed for a short period of time after illness or injury. If your needs change at any time, Home Instead will be there at every stage working with your clinical team to provide as much help as you need.
What is reablement care
Similar to rehabilitation and recuperation care, reablement care is an invaluable step in getting your loved one out of hospital and back to living independently, and is better delivered at home for best results.
