What Is Intermediate Care?
Intermediate care is a short-term form of care aimed to help you recover from an illness or hospital admission and gain back your individual independence. It is also often called Reablement care and consists of a carer coming to your home and helping you achieve specific goals you set yourself, for example getting dressed until you have recovered and are able to achieve your goal on your own.
