Since the start of the millennium, significant changes have been seen in Danish eldercare. Central is the political ambition of a paradigm shift from »help« to »help to self-self« in home care, which is envisioned to happen through reablement. Reablement refers to short-duration home-based training programmes through which applicants of publicly funded home care are sought re-enabled to manage practical housework and/or personal hygiene.
