Restorative nursing programs are entirely appropriate in situations in which the resident continues to qualify for skilled rehab in some areas but not in others.  It is in those other areas that restorative nursing would kick in.

My only question would be why??? If they are receiving therapies with a High as RUG what would be the purpose of Rest? If they need more therapy why not kick that up to get a higher rehab RUG?

My question exactly. Yet you have people here stating it is "best practice"???
