RESTORATIVE CARE PROGRAM (RCP)
& AGED CARE COUNSELLING PERTH

The Restorative Care Program (RCP), previously known as Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC), supports older adults in regaining independence, maintaining wellbeing, and adapting following illness, injury, or functional decline, while they wait for their Aged Care Package to commence.

​

Emotional wellbeing remains an important part of recovery, adjustment, and quality of life. As part of the RCP and Aged Care Counselling services, I provide in-home emotional support that complements physical, clinical, and practical care.
