Short-term restorative care (STRC) is a goal oriented, multidisciplinary package of care designed to meet the needs of a person over 65 to help them stay at home and help defer entry into higher levels of care.
Access into STRC is due to functional decline (not linked to a recent hospital admission) resulting in a patient needing assistance for a short period of time. It provides a high intensity period of care, up to a maximum of 56 days.
The District Nurses do not charge fees for STRC packages.
