Let me introduce myself!
I’m Clarie Dennis of Kinetic Therapy and I wanted to introduce myself. When Dusty, my husband and I first got married over 25 years ago, he had just gotten out of PT (physical therapy) school. We were just getting our 1st jobs out of college and starting our life together. Dusty got a great job in his hometown and was trained by one of the best therapists in the state. After a while, he got a job offer at a rehab about 45 miles away in a small town and he thought it would be a great opportunity to add that to his resume. Everyday he would drive to work we would just hope he would make it. He was driving an old Ford Ranger that I had driven all 4 years in college, which had been passed down to me after it had been retired from my dad’s company. It had no a/c and had a standard transmission in it. So when I said we hoped he would make it to work was a literal statement of concern. But while working and getting established in this little town, he was approached by a home health company to see a home health patient.
There is nothing better than staying independent at home!
So on his way home from work he would stop by and see this patient a couple times a week. Then he picked up a couple more patients. These patients couldn’t leave their homes because of their medical condition, a stroke, or recovering from a surgery or worse a fall. They had a desire to get better and to get back to where they were before, independent but didn’t know how. They would open up their home and he would go in and help them physically get stronger. He would leave them with exercises to do on the days he didn’t come by to continue their journey to get better. Pretty soon he had more than he could see after work without getting home at midnight every night. So he had an idea to get a PTA to see one and he would supervise her. This is where it all started! We got a contract with that home health company to see all their home health patients for therapy. Dusty quit the rehab job and went to help home health patients as his full time job. He loved getting to know the patients, it’s very personal when they let you in their home. You get to see the patients’ grand kids’ pictures hanging on the walls, you get to see the sweet spouse that is worn completely out trying to care for them and seeing a glimmer of hope that they may get back to where they can care for themselves because therapy will improve the state they are in. So Dusty got a few more contracts and a few more therapists and we have been building our business one home health patient at a time.
There is nothing better than helping that patient stay independent at home, where they can continue to age in the comfort of their own home safely, We all feel like family when we are done!
