KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., Dec.22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Genesis Rehab Services (GRS), a premier provider of physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy services in the long-term care industry, remains strong in the face of heavy cuts in Medicare reimbursement. With more than 1000 locations in 27 states and the District of Columbia, Genesis Rehab Services continues to project steady growth in new and existing markets in 2012.
A new partnership with Ohio-based AdCare Health Systems, Inc., will expand GRS's footprint into two new states: Oklahoma and Arkansas. On January 1, 2012, Genesis Rehab Services will begin to operate and staff 13 rehab gyms for AdCare, which develops, owns and manages nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
With this growth comes new job opportunities for the Enid and Grove areas of Oklahoma, and the Bentonville, Ft. Smith and Stamps communities of Arkansas. Genesis Rehab Services is now hiring licensed physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapists, certified occupational therapy assistants, speech-language pathologists, and rehab managers across both states. The company has been recognized as a 2011 Top Workplace by the Indianapolis Star and St. Petersburg Times, a 2010 Top Workplace by the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News, and as a 2009 Best Place to Work by the Tampa Bay Business Journal and the Philadelphia Business Journal.
