WHAT IS RESTORATIVE

CARE? Restorative care strives to provide residents

in long-term care facilities with the best quality of life possible.

Restorative care personnel work with residents to promote the highest level of

functioning that the resident can attain. This may be achieved through walking, exercise,

dining programs or by fostering the potential of the resident by providing a goal-oriented approach to restorative care.
