Restore your health in eight weeks

Announcement posted by Feros Care 16 Jan 2018

If you’re finding everyday tasks a bit more challenging than normal or you’ve had a recent setback with your health, Feros Care’s 8-week Short-Term Restorative (STRC) program may be just the thing you need.
 
This Government funded program aims to help people improve their overall health and wellbeing and get you back to full strength so they can enjoy living at home. The program runs over 8-weeks and involves a team of at least three health professionals, including your GP, who will work with you to achieve your restorative plan.
 
Kate Swanton, Feros Care’s Director of Health and Wellness said “This service provides people with the opportunity to prevent problems before they become really serious. It enables them to take charge of their health decisions.
 
“Feros Care firmly believe that rehabilitation and restorative care is the best approach to allow seniors to remain living independently in their home for as long as they desire,” said Kate.
 
An example of the services people can access through Feros Care’s 8-week program include:
  • an occupational therapist assessing your home and providing home modifications, small assistive devices to make every day activities easier and innovative new technologies that keep you safe and secure
  • a physiotherapist showing you how simple exercises can become daily habits that build up your strength and balance after a fall
  • support from a counsellor to give you coping hints
  • Individual healing movements, with strategies and techniques to manage and relieve pain, and
  • nutritional tips and meal preparation ideas.
 
Kate said “This 8-week program is a great opportunity to help you improve your well-being and prevent problems from becoming more serious. This program will help get you back to doing the things you love as well as everyday tasks  so you can stay healthy, active, living independently, and connected to your community.”
