Western welfare states are facing great challenges as they strive to optimise their health and social systems in response to the realities of an ageing population. Many countries put a stake on reablement services-short-term rehabilitative interventions aiming to help older people regain functional capacity. To ensure a person-centred approach and outcome measures, service providers are recommended to follow a protocol designed for the dual purpose. In this article, we explore how reablement staff perceive and work around these person-centred assessment protocols. Departing from the perspective that standards never operate in isolation, but in social settings already infused with values and interests, we explore the various kinds of work involved in aligning the protocol with ongoing day-to-day assessment practices. The article demonstrates that professionals continuously engage in processes of tinkering to navigate between different values and concerns: they tinker with workflows (articulation work), with clients (identity transformation work) and with protocols (editing work). Exploring the different forms and intensity of tinkering enables us to discuss the practical and moral difficulties inherent in making assessment protocols workable
