What is reablement?

The Government uses the term ‘reablement’ to refer to short term or time limited support that helps a person to adapt to changed circumstances, such as functional loss after an illness or accident, or to regain confidence and capacity to return to their previous level of activity.

Short Term Restorative Care (STRC) is available from Resthaven Community Services in some areas. We help people who are experiencing illness or who have suffered an injury to get back their strength and ability, to ‘get back on their feet’ and improve their quality of life.

STRC is a time limited, early allied health intervention program that can play a valuable role in enabling people to maintain their independence.

Once ability is strengthened, maintenance of exercise programs and allied health support can enable clients to continue to enjoy the benefits the program brings.

The program complements the range of support services that Resthaven offers. We work together with older people to design a plan of care that reflects their choice and preferences.

The focus of the multidisciplinary team approach is healthy, active ageing to assist quality of life and avoid unnecessary hospitalisation, and possible premature entry to residential aged care.

Resthaven Community Services also provide in-home care, wellbeing services (individual and group therapies), centre-based and in-home carer respite.
