Writing a Strong Service Model That Includes Reablement

August 5, 2025

📝 This is blog 4 of a 7-part series exploring how domiciliary care providers can strengthen their bids by linking reablement, assistive technology, and outcomes; links to all 7 below.

When a tender asks for your service model, it’s not just a description of what you do — it’s your chance to show strategic intent, structure, and alignment with commissioner expectations. If you want extra support shaping this section, a specialist domiciliary care bid writer can help you translate practice into a clear, scoreable model.

If you deliver reablement, or reablement is part of the service, your model should show how it’s embedded — not just mentioned.

🏗️ Structure Before Detail

A strong service model is built in layers. Before writing, consider breaking it down like this:

Referral & Assessment — how people enter the service
Care Planning — how you agree goals and risks
Delivery — your staffing, visits, communication, tech
Review & Outcomes — how you track progress and reduce dependency

This structure makes it easy to insert reablement principles and show how short-term, goal-oriented support is part of every step. In home care tender submissions, this layered approach also helps evaluators follow your logic quickly.

🧠 Where Reablement Should Show Up

Reablement shouldn’t be a paragraph at the end. It should appear naturally throughout your service model, for example:

“From first contact, we explain the short-term nature of the support and identify reablement goals.”
“Our care plans include reablement targets, reviewed weekly with the client and family.”
“We use assistive technology to support safe independence between visits.”
“Our key workers monitor progress daily and adjust the plan accordingly.”

This shows that reablement isn’t an add-on — it’s the foundation of your model.

📣 Don’t Forget Outcomes

A service model that doesn’t mention impact won’t score highly. Even if the question doesn’t ask directly, include statements like:

“62% of our reablement packages end or step down within 6 weeks.”
“80% of people report increased confidence at the end of support.”
“We reduce long-term care reliance by focusing on strengths and recovery.”

Commissioners want reassurance. Your model should show it’s working. Before submission, a final pass from a specialist bid proofreading service can ensure the model reads clearly and consistently across all sections.
