Wellness and reablement in the Victorian home care sector: Statewide review of progress
Wellness and reablement is an approach that builds on peoples strengths and goals to promote independence and autonomy in home care. Evidence shows that this approach is effective in improving function, independence and quality of life for older people and younger people with disabilities. In Victoria, the introduction of wellness and reablement approaches has involved a significant change management process as part of the introduction of the Active Service Model in 2010.
To implement the model, funded organisations across the state have sought to embed wellness and reablement principles in everything they do.
This review of the service providers 2017 implementation plans examines the positive achievements and areas for further improvement that Victorian service providers have identified during the 2017 calendar year, the sixth planning cycle in Victoria.
The report collects and analyses data from 334 Victorian organisations funded to deliver home care via the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC PYP). This represents 96 per cent of the funded organisations required to
submit a plan, which is an excellent response rate, and shows a high level of engagement from Victorias home care sector with wellness and reablement principles.
