It is a time limited, multi-disciplinary, goal oriented and client-centered approach. Restorative care helps clients, across the continuum of care, return to home and remain at home as long as possible. It mitigates the risk or need for higher levels of health care or premature admission to a Continuing Care living option. Restorative care helps medically stable clients learn or re-learn the necessary skills required to complete their daily living activities.
