The clinic comes to you.
60 minutes. One licensed therapist. Your living room.
PT and OT, at the low end of published rates. Evaluations pay more.
One patient at a time, where they actually live.
That single decision is the entire company. It is what makes the care better, and it is what makes the job worth doing again.
- For the patient
Therapy happens in the home you intend to stay in, learning to navigate your own environment as your abilities change with age.
- For the therapist
You set your own schedule, take the caseload you want, and work with patients long enough to watch them progress.
- Why it holds together
Almost everyone got into this because they liked taking care of people. That is the first thing a clinic takes away when the pace works against what you are trying to do for the patient. Protecting the hour is how you keep it.
The same two people are still answering for it.
Smart Rehab started in 2017 in Kevin and Theresa Finlay's house in Kirkwood. She is a physical therapist who practiced for 22 years and watched the focus shift from patient care to documentation. He spent 20 years in healthcare leadership. His view is simple: healthcare is supposed to be about giving people good care, and that gets lost when everything runs on numbers and quotas. He believes good care still exists, and that it results in helping people maintain a better quality of life. They are still the two people running it.
No board sets a growth target. When something is wrong, one of two people fixes it, and they will be the same two people next year.
3 common misconceptions about outpatient therapy in the home.
Tap each one. Most people believe at least 1.
You will know your therapist's name before the first visit.
One licensed clinician for your whole course of care, and that therapist is the person who calls to introduce themselves and arrange the first visit.
It is clear when talking with my patients after treatment from Smart Rehab that the service they provide is life changing. My patients have felt very comfortable receiving care in their home. I cannot overstate how appreciative I am to have worked with Smart Rehab to better enable my senior patients to improve their health.
The people we treat, in their own words.
I noticed I was getting weaker and had a few close calls with falling. My daughter said she thought a therapist could help me get stronger and work on my balance right in my own home, where I was having the most difficulty.
I was doing less and less and had stopped doing some of the things I enjoyed. I thought I had to be homebound to get physical or occupational therapy in my home. I decided to try it so I could get stronger, feel more confident, and get back to doing what I enjoyed.
It was getting harder for me to get to a clinic, and once I was there, my therapist was often helping other patients at the same time. When Tracie comes to my home, I have her full attention. That one-on-one care makes such a difference.
We have been so happy with Smart Rehab providing therapy services for both of my parents. It's clear the impact is significant to their physical health and even more surprising is the impact to their mental health. Clearly noticeable by everyone in the family.
