About The Position

Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) – In-House. This role is intentionally different from traditional contract therapy roles. We are an in-house, family-owned therapy organization where clinical decisions serve residents, not a contract company's bottom line. Our SLPs are given the clinical space to do what they were trained to do — evaluate, treat, and genuinely change the lives of the residents in their care. Our therapy teams operate differently, and it shows in our retention and culture. Sprenger Therapy is the in-house rehabilitation team for Sprenger Health Care Systems — a third-generation, family-owned senior living organization operating 12 skilled nursing facilities across Ohio and South Carolina. This isn’t contract therapy. This is a career.
