Rehabilitation

Our Goal is to restore individuals to their highest level of independent functioning through a multidisciplinary team approach, education and training.

Our Select Therapies rehabilitation program includes Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy services as well as a pulmonary program for qualified residents. The select therapy team's target is to rehabilitate residents to their maximum potential; and prepare them for discharge to a lower level of care, or simply for a return home back to their previous living situation. In 2010 and 2011 combined we sent home over 430 residents through our Homeward Bound Therapy Program.

BIO: Robin Swigart, Facility Rehabilitation Director: I was born in Xenia, Ohio and was raised on my parents’ 10 acre farm outside of Donnelsville. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Allied Medicine at OSU. I live on 5 acres in Champaign County with my husband of 13 years and my 2 children. I have an 8 year old daughter who goes to Graham High School and a 2 year old son. I love spending time with family, shopping, and the Buckeyes!
