Job Description
Job Details: Job Location: Village of the Falls - Olmsted Falls, OH, Salary Range: Undisclosed, Director of Rehabilitation – In-House
If you’re a strong clinician ready to lead and you want to do it in an environment that puts patients and people first — this role is intentionally different.
We are an in-house, family-owned therapy organization — not a contract therapy company. Our Directors of Rehabilitation are clinical leaders first, supported by an organization that values outcomes over volume and invests in the teams they lead.
Why DORs Choose Sprenger Therapy
In-house therapy model — your decisions serve your residents and your team, not a contract company’s margin
Clinical leadership respected — you set the standard for care in your building
Operational support provided — systems, resources, and leadership that back you up
Stable, family-oriented culture — leadership knows who you are and invests in your success
Growth within a 12-facility network — opportunity to influence therapy operations at the program level
Care decisions guided by outcomes and ethics — not short-term volume targets
Our therapy teams operate differently — and it shows in our retention and culture.
What You’ll Do
Lead and develop a multidisciplinary therapy team including PT, OT, SLP, and therapy assistants
Oversee clinical quality, productivity, and compliance across your therapy department
Manage caseload, scheduling, and staffing in coordination with building leadership
Monitor and drive functional outcome performance including GG score tracking
Collaborate with admissions, nursing, and interdisciplinary care teams to support census growth and care continuity
Mentor clinical staff and foster a culture of excellence, autonomy, and patient-centered care
Serve as the primary therapy liaison to building administration and corporate leadership
What We’re Looking For
Active clinical license in good standing — PT, OTR, PTA, COTA, or SLP
Clinical experience in a SNF setting — prior DOR experience a plus but not required
Strong clinical foundation with the ability to lead, develop, and retain a therapy team
Comfortable managing productivity, scheduling, and compliance alongside clinical responsibilities
Commitment to outcomes-driven, ethics-led care
A natural leader who builds culture, not just manages schedules
Pay & Benefits
Competitive compensation based on experience
Flexible scheduling
Generous 401(k) with company match
Continuing education units (CEUs) — available
Paid time off and vacation pay
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Company-paid life insurance

Growth opportunities within a 12-facility network
