Short-Term Restorative Care
More care options in the Southern Region
Short-Term Restorative Care is an intensive rehabilitation program delivered by a team of health professionals over an 8 week period. The objective is to assist people who are experiencing physical or mental decline and help them get back on their feet and stay independent in their own home.
If you are not feeling yourself and lacking strength and independence, have been unwell or finding daily tasks harder than they should be, Short-Term Restorative Care could be for you. This Government funded program allows you to receive care and allied health services tailored to your individual needs.
