• Working on confidence after a spell of illness, deterioration in health, an injury, a hospital admission or an acquired disability.
• Restoring independent functional performance.
• Preventing re-admission to hospital or premature move to a care home.
• Supporting clients in their own home which increases outcome in achieving meaningful goals.
