Using multilevel logistic regression to analyse management data of reablement episodes collected ... more Using multilevel logistic regression to analyse management data of reablement episodes collected by Essex County Council, UK, from 2008-2012, this article identifies constraining and enabling factors for successful reablement. Overall, 59.5% of Essex reablement clients were classed as able to care for themselves when assessed after 13 weeks, but several social, health, referral and age-related factors were found to constrain that. However, some of the largest effects found to constrain reablement were neighbourhood deprivation and, particularly, unfavourable geodemographic profiles as measured through Mosaic consumer classifications. The results suggest that in order to optimise reablement, programmes might be better tailored and intensified for particular client groups, particularly for those displaying specific geodemographic characteristics.
