rehabilitator
One who restores
A rehabilitator is someone who restores things or people to a former condition or capacity.
Wildlife rehabilitators care for injured or orphaned animals with the goal of releasing them back into the wild.
The term also applies to those who help people recover from addiction, injury, or imprisonment, or to professionals who restore damaged buildings or neighborhoods.
The rehabilitator nursed the hawk back to health over several months.
