What to Ask Your In Home Aged Care Services Provider

Short-term support to help you regain strength, confidence, and independence.

The Restorative Care Pathway is part of the new Support at Home program and provides short-term assistance to help you get back to your best after a health setback, hospital stay, illness, or a period of reduced mobility.

At Yellow Door Care, our goal is simple: to help you feel stronger, safer, and more confident at home — with the right professionals supporting you every step of the way.

What Is Restorative Care?

The Restorative Care Pathway offers up to 16 weeks of focused services designed to help you improve or maintain your physical ability, mobility, and wellbeing.

It is completely goal-based, meaning your support is shaped around what you want to achieve — whether that’s walking safely around your home, rebuilding strength, returning to the community, or managing daily tasks more independently.

All Assistive Technology and Home Modifications provided through our service must be delivered as part of our wrap-around services and support model. We do not offer stand‑alone equipment or home modification orders without proper assessment. All AT and Home Modifications must be prescribed and coordinated by one of our Associated Providers to ensure they are safe, appropriate, and aligned with your overall support plan.
