The Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN) today announced the launch of the brand-new ReSTART online recovery resource for rehabilitation. The ReSTART site provides key information for those starting the journey of rehabilitation, as well as their family members, loved ones, and caretakers.
The recovery site was created by rehabilitation nurses who understand the special needs of people who experience a major injury, chronic illness, or disability. Using the ReSTART site, visitors can learn about what to expect when first beginning rehabilitation, how to make the most of participating in the rehabilitation journey, how to best manage transitions between facilities and healthcare settings, and common financial and legal concerns, such as insurance coverage and disability qualification questions.
The ReSTART site also features an easy to understand glossary, to help familiarize anyone with some of the most common terms used by rehabilitation healthcare staff. In addition, visitors will find links to helpful resources and support organizations, as well as rehabilitation care planning tools.
