What is the difference between restorative and rehabilitation

Therapy is based on the medical model and restorative programs are based on the nursing model. Rehab therapy is done at a much faster pace. In order for Medicare to pay for these programs, there must be significant improvement. Restorative is for the most part started when the skilled physical, occupational and speech therapy is discontinued. Restorative nursing programs may involve a toileting program for an incontinent resident, an indwelling catheter, a decline in range of motion, a decline in late loss ADLs-bed mobility, transfers, toilet use and eating.

Preventing decline may be the only reason for doing a restorative program. The MDS and other assessments that may be required can determine the need for a restorative program. Your restorative staff should work closely with therapies. Before a resident is discharged from formalized rehab therapy, the staff should be observing how the resident is doing.

The restorative justice approach will strengthen civil society by enhancing social cohesion and empowering the citizens to solve problems. The Jewish community relations field should: Work with organizations and coalitions representing affected communities to support restorative and rehabilitative justice policies, practices, and reforms at the federal, state, and local level of governments, through—but not limited to—legislation and administrative actions; and Work with human service partners and organizations representing affected communities to support community-based reentry services for the formerly incarcerated individuals and their families, and trauma-informed approaches and community-based solutions that seek accountability from the individuals or systems that cause harm.
