integratedliving recognises the importance of seniors to being able to live independently and safely at home. Our Short-Term Restorative Care Program (STRC) seeks to ensure that people’s health goals are met to improve their wellbeing.
When you join the STRC program, you will collaborate with our wonderful team of accredited health specialists to identify your goals and tailor therapy based on your General Practitioner’s advice and your personal needs. Receive restorative care support from the comfort of your home or you may also choose to come in to one of our Wellness Centres.
