At Knollcrest Lodge our Nursing Restorative Care is a process, a philosophy of care, not a task. It includes nursing interventions that promote the Resident’s ability to adapt and adjust to living as independently and safely as is possible. This concept actively focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal physical, mental, and psychosocial functioning. The resident may receive nursing restorative services, as well as receive services from specialized therapy staff (e.g. occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech and language pathologist etc.).
