Meeting therapy goals not directly impacts our patient's quality of life and longevity, but is also an important factor in a facility's financial success, especially in today's industry.
In a 4-week, 5-facility case study, Reliant Rehabilitation team members improved therapy outcomes by mitigating 138 therapy refusals. Patients who initially refuse physical, occupational, or speech therapy sessions participated more often when engaged with RESTORE-Skills This led to greater payout success for the participating facilities.
What's up RESTOREtribe? Today we would like to introduce you to Ido Moskovitch, RESTORE's Head of Product.
Q: What do you do at RESTORE-Skills and in what circumstances would our users come to you for something?
A: I’m the Head of Product, which means I lead the effort of developing our product. You should reach out to me if you have an idea of how to make our product better, or to share if there’s a problem or bug, or even just to share about a challenge that you have that’s not being addressed with our product.
Q: What led you to this career path?
A. The fact that empathy is a big part of my personality, and this job allows me to bring it out and use it in my day-to-day work, while I try to understand the customers and develop the product accordingly.
Q: Who has influenced you most when it comes to how you approach your work?
A. I am actually returning to Restore-Skills for a second round, after 6 years of absence. Eran our CEO was one of the first people that introduced me to the ‘online / SAAS industry’, and has been one of the biggest influencers on my approach and career in general.
Q. What three words would your friends use to describe you?
A. Best Dude EVER!
Q: If you could snap your fingers and be an expert at something, what would it be?
A.Music.
Q: What’s one song artist you are embarrassed to admit you like?
A. Abba.
Q: What is the most exotic food you have ever tried?
A. Cockroach.
Cockroach! I'm not sure the rest of us would agree on that being an exotic food. Have a question for Ido? Drop a comment below and we will get that question answered. Happy to have you back again Ido!
We want to introduce you to Carthel, who is a long-term resident at Hamilton Grove Rehabilitation. Carthel had several barriers to improved quality of life and participation in leisure activities which included; wandering, impaired recall, and a short attention span. He was agreeable to task initiation but only sustained attention for 1-2 minutes before becoming distracted and leaving the activity. The activity team members introduced RESTORE-Skills, as an alternative solution, to enhance Carthel's participation. Click the link below to see the outcome of Carthel's experience with RESTORE.
The RESTORE team is on the road yet again. This week Eran Arden, CEO, Ben Pruzansky, Vice President of Business Development and Suzi Fullam, Clinical Success Director had the pleasure of attending the Tender Touch Rehab Services, LLC Regional Meeting. As you can see by the picture below, there was a full house. The two teams enjoyed not only talking about growth opportunities, but getting to know each other better as well.
There was even time for a little friendly competition as the two teams played RESTORE games. Congratulations to Brad George who won our Ski Saga challenge. Lata Narayan, the COO for Tender Touch received some great instruction from Ski Instructor Suzi. 🙂

We had the pleasure of doing a Case Study with the team at Arabella Healthcare and their resident, Mike. Initially, Mike would decline participation in social activities outside of his room. His social isolation, along with being in a new environment, impacted his quality of life. That's when their Activity Director introduced Mike to the RESTORE-Skills gamification platform as a solution to engage Mike, using some of his favorite activities.

As a remote company many of our calls take place via the computer. This week was a very exciting week for us because members of our Development Team were able to travel to the U.S. Many of our development team members are based out of Israel, so this was a rare treat.
The team hit the streets and were thrilled to see our users in person. Our team members were able to have face-to-face conversations and receive valuable feedback. They also enjoyed getting to know the residents they met, as they played RESTORE games together.
Lior Barak and Ido Moskovitch, from our Dev Team, are visiting Cottingham Retirement Community with Julie Gala, our Sr. Director of Clinical Success. We want to say, "Well done!" to both our users and our team. #RESTOREtribe ♥️

Once again our team has been out on the road. RESTORE team members Johanna Salmon, Vice President of Partnership Development and Amanda Capone, Sr. Director of Education snatched a golf cart to get to their latest destination.
Thank you Priority Healthcare for giving us the opportunity to be an Administrator Appreciation Event 2022 sponsor!
Johanna and Amanda had a great time playing the real version of some of our RESTORE games. #GolfMasters ⛳ #HoopStars 🏀 What a great time! And a great opportunity to connect with our #RESTOREtribe. Thank you again Priority Healthcare Group!

We are placing the spotlight on communication for National Aphasia Awareness Month and we enlisted the help of our Sr. Directors of Clinical Success, Julie Gala and Lana Dorffer, who are both Speech Language Pathologists.
RESTORE: "Lana, tell us a little bit about what the RESTORE Communication Board means to our players and users."
Lana: "We take for granted the many nuances of language and how they impact our relationships. Our new Communication Board gives our players and users the ability to communicate with each other and build relationships."
RESTORE: "Julie, besides Aphasia, what other populations might be helped by using our Communication Board to provide quality of care?"
Julie: "There are many populations who would benefit from a Communication Board. We would take up a lot of space listing all of them, so let me share a few."
Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Motor Speech Deficits
Cognitive communicative deficits
Mechanically ventilated/tracheostomy patients
Language Barriers/Multilingual
RESTORE: "When you say Language Barriers/Multilingual Julie, exactly how many languages will be on the Communication Board, as it launches?"
Julie: "As we launch, there are 40 languages on the Communication Board. Our users have the ability to choose their language and change their language, as needed.
RESTORE: "Lana, would you share with our readers some benefits of using a Communication Board?"
Lana: "Absolutely! Similar to Julie, if we listed all the benefits, this would be one big Blog. Let me share just a few."
Express Needs/Preferences
Increase Autonomy
Facility Wide Engagement
Positive Social Interactions
Say 'YES' to RESTORE!
Lana: "The C-Board not only gives therapists, activities, and staff a crucial tool, but it also gives them an avenue to really get to know their residents/members. Individuals also have an opportunity to tell their family/friends they love them, when they otherwise wouldn’t have a voice."
Julie: "Deanna Prince, who is a Director of Rehab, took our C-Board for a test run and said 'I LOVE the communication board. It's so hard, in my rural SNF, to get access to technology when needed. Sometimes it takes a while and our patients may only be here for a short time. This gives me immediate access to trial a voice output device!'"
RESTORE: "Okay ladies, time to wrap this up. Give us one last comment about the RESTORE Communication Board."
Lana: "The smiles on the faces of your residents/members are going to be so BIG, when they realize, for the first time, there is a tool to help them communicate with others. What we wouldn’t do to see those smiles first hand!"
Julie: "Please leave a comment and let us know if you have any questions or feedback about the C-Board. We are here to help!"
