Our Concept of Recovery

The use of the word “Recovery” does not usually mean a cure. Rather, it means a kind of re­adaptation to the illness that allows life to go forward in a meaningful way. It is a deeply personal, unique process of changing one’s attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills and roles. This concept supports a person’s ability to be able to live a satisfying life even with the limitations caused by the illness. Prestige care team base its recovery concept on Maslow hierarchy of needs.

  • Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.
  • Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up.
  • From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.

Services & Program

Prestiges’ goal is to assist you in your recovery journey by:

  • identifying what level you are on the hierarchy of needs

She was impressed with the knowledge and the experience the aide had, she stated she didn’t need to do any training on how to care for her dad.
