Therapy Care

What Therapy Care does

Therapy Care is a privately held pediatric therapy provider founded in 1990 by Roberta 'Bobbie' Chester and headquartered in Batavia, Illinois. The company delivers physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services to children from birth through adolescence, with additional adult speech therapy services for voice and swallowing disorders. Service delivery occurs through three modalities: outpatient clinics (Batavia, IL and Port Charlotte, FL), in-home visits, teletherapy via video conferencing, and school-based academic services contracts with K-12 districts. Specialized programs include Early Intervention credentialing in Illinois serving children birth to age three, Feeding and Swallowing Therapy, Social Skills & Communication Groups, and collaborative arrangements with ABA therapy facilities for autism patients. Therapy Care is in-network with major insurers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Coventry, Humana, Medicare, Tricare, and United Healthcare, with benefit verification conducted prior to appointments and private pay options available for uninsured patients. The business is founder/family-controlled with Eric Chester serving as Managing Director overseeing daily operations, and the company has operated for over three decades serving thousands of families. The underlying technology stack is standard clinical equipment supplemented by a teletherapy video platform and a patient portal, with no disclosed proprietary AI/ML or data assets. Revenue is generated primarily through insurance billing for clinical services, supplemented by private pay fees and group program pricing (e.g., $250 per child for 6 sessions of Social Skills groups).
