Enhanced Payment for Double Handed Reablement Packages

Following feedback from providers regarding the challenges of sourcing and delivering double-handed reablement support, Oxfordshire County Council has introduced an enhanced payment to support the delivery of these packages and help increase market capacity.

We are pleased to confirm that, with effect from 14 May 2026, an additional £500 payment will be made for all eligible double-handed reablement packages. This enhancement has been introduced in recognition of the additional workforce and operational demands associated with delivering double-handed care and is intended to support providers in accepting and delivering these packages for Oxfordshire residents.

As a result, the total payment for an eligible double-handed reablement package has increased from £1,246.94 to £1,746.94.

The enhanced payment will remain in place for the remainder of the 2026/27 financial year and will be subject to regular review. The Council hopes that this additional funding will encourage greater uptake of double-handed packages, support timely hospital discharges and community transfers, and help ensure residents receive the care and support they need as quickly as possible.
