“A valuable and timely resource for policy makers and practitioners. Robust cross-country and interdisciplinary research shows how reablement can reduce long-term care costs, improve wellbeing and professionalise care work.” Caroline Glendinning, University of York

“Policies that prevent poor health as people age, help them participate in communities and provide people centred care are imperative for societal wellbeing and a healthy economy. In this inspiring book, the authors trace the path for re-enabling in long-term care.” HB Francesca Colombo, OEC
