Steeves & Rozema Restorative Care Programs are designed to assist residents who have suffered a stroke or some loss of functional ability in regaining independence through individualized exercise programs and training in mobility aids.

Residents are assessed by the Restorative Care staff, and invited to the appropriate exercise group based on their needs and their wishes. Group exercises include:

• Maintenance Program

• Strengthening Program

• Stroke Group

Designed around each resident's personal needs, the Ambulation Program teaches the proper use of ambulation aids such as walkers, wheelchairs and canes. As the resident gains strength, mobility is increased and the resident becomes more independent.

Individual exercises vary from person to person, depending on each resident's personal situation. Custom exercise programs are developed to improve:

• Balance

• Strength

• Speech

• Range of Motion
