Short-Term Restorative Care

Wellness, reablement and restorative approaches are powerful ways to help older people improve their function, independence and quality of life.

Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC) Packages aim to reverse and/or slow ‘functional decline’ in older people and improve their wellbeing through flexible, time-limited care in a home setting.

You can receive therapy and support in your own home that is:

• Focused on your individual goals
• Focused on particular therapies
• For a short-time only – usually eight (8) weeks

Services can include:

• Case management
• Bathing/dressing
• House cleaning
• Meals
• Shopping
• Gardening
• Nursing (medication, wounds, etc)
• Transport
• Aids or equipment
• Physiotherapy visits
• Occupational therapy visits
• Other allied health visits as required
