Celebrating our Physical Therapy Team at Epworth Villa, let’s meet Jeannie, PTA!
She has been serving the residents here for the past 9 years and celebrating her 26th year of being a therapist! We asked Jeannie what she likes best about her job: “I like helping people and attempt to address the whole person (mind, body, spirit) as much as I can during the therapy process. I fell in love with working with the senior population because of the influence of my grandparents and the wealth of knowledge and history seniors have to share.”
A big thank you to all the therapists we have on campus! You keep us going, help us to achieve our goals and maintain our independence!

As we continue celebrating National Physical Therapy Month, meet Randi, PTA! She has been a therapist for 15 years having spent the last 2 with Epworth Villa.
We asked what do you love most about working with this population? “I love working with this population because I learn what is important to them in order to help my patients achieve their goals. It is amazing to see someone go from not being able to sit on the side of the bed alone to leaving here to go home just using a cane!”
