This variety means professional growth and fulfilling, purpose-driven work. Holistic, person-centered care philosophy — The facility emphasizes dignity, respect, and individualized care plans. That aligns well with a therapist’s desire to treat people as whole individuals, not just as medical “cases.” Interdisciplinary team & resources — Wexner offers on-site nursing, medical services, lab/radiology, dialysis, rehab services, and more. For a therapist, that environment supports coordinated care.

Mission-driven organizational culture — Their guiding values are about kindness, respect, self-expression, and enriching residents’ lives. For therapists who value humanistic care, this culture can be very rewarding. Opportunities for specialization and growth — With services like memory care (for dementia/Alzheimer’s), hospice, rehab after surgeries or strokes, there are opportunities for therapists to specialize, develop skills, and take on different kinds of client challenges. 🧑‍⚕️ What It’s Like on the Ground — Care & Client Population Therapists at Wexner might work with: Residents needing post-surgical rehab (joint replacements, cardiac recovery, neurological conditions, etc. Individuals requiring long-term care — managing chronic conditions, mobility issues, or age-related decline. Memory care clients dealing with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other cognitive impairments, where therapy may include not just physical/occupational therapy but also support for daily living, mobility, and quality-of-life.
