What we do

VCRS is a Therapy, Reablement Care and Support integrated service run in conjunction with Cardiff & Vale University Health Board and Vale of Glamorgan Council. Within VCRS there is a team consisting of Health & Social Care Multi-Disciplinary Professionals who provide rehabilitation, reablement and recovery therapy to you in your home either when you come home from hospital or following a community referral. We aim to help you be as independent as possible and to prevent any avoidable admission to hospital or care home and if needed to assist you with future care and support needs.

Who do we support

We support people who are over 18 years of age who live in the Vale of Glamorgan.

We aim to:
• Work with you to consider what is important to you. We will assess your ability and confidence to see what help you need and provide the right amount of care and support to enable you to participate in daily activities that matter to you.
• Encourage you to do as much as you can for yourself to build on your strength and skills i.e. doing things with you not for you to regain your independence.

The types of activities VCRS can support you with are: reablement, rehabilitation and recovery to increase your physical health, personal care and continence care, meal preparation, shopping, housework, laundry, managing your medication, improving your well-being, connecting you to your community and signposting to specialist support.

Is there a charge to use this service?

Depends - We provide a free period of assessment. If long term support needs are identified the service may be chargeable subject to financial assessment (maximum charge is £100 per week).

Can anyone use this service?

All referrals would usually be referred to VCRS by Contact One Vale (C1V) – it is usually made by Hospital Ward/Emergency Unit or GP. C1V can be contacted on 01446 700111
