RESTORATIVE CARE PROGRAM (RCP) PERTH

The Restorative Care Program (RCP), previously known as Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC), supports older adults to regain independence, maintain wellbeing, and adapt following illness, injury, or functional decline.

Emotional wellbeing plays a vital role in recovery. As part of RCP services, I provide in-home emotional support counselling that complements physical, clinical, and practical care.
