Assisted Rehab

What Assisted Rehab does

Assisted Rehab Inc. is a Maryland-based, owner-operated contract rehabilitation therapy provider founded in 1997 by Rich Rigali. The company delivers onsite physical, occupational, and speech therapy services to skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, retirement communities, and other residential/transitional care settings across Maryland under multi-year managed-services contracts. Core clinical offerings are augmented by a portfolio of six condition-specific specialized programs: Restore (orthopedic joint replacement), BIG/LOUD (Parkinson's LSVT), State of the Heart (CHF), The Beat Goes On (myocardial infarction), Making Waves (aquatics), and Heart Smarts (cardiopulmonary). The firm self-reports 25+ years of operating history, 90%+ staff retention, and a 7% rehospitalization rate against a 21% national average.

The underlying technology stack is built on two third-party integrations: Optima Healthcare Solutions for electronic documentation/reporting, and the RealTime business intelligence platform, which includes a patent-pending CARD (Readmission Risk Scoring) tool that establishes a 72-hour patient baseline and risk-stratifies every patient continuously. RealTime applies natural-language analysis across 400+ keywords in nursing and progress notes to surface missed PDPM coding opportunities, drive IPA alerting, and conduct antibiotic stewardship and infection surveillance. The proprietary 'EZ Transition Process' is the on-the-ground onboarding mechanism used to migrate new facility partners onto the company's stack.

Commercially, Assisted Rehab operates a B2B field-sales motion targeting SNF/ALF administrators, with senior leadership (including CEO Rich Rigali and Director of Rehab Services Michael Rigali) conducting direct monthly site visits and quarterly business reviews. Pricing is quote-based and contract-negotiated per facility, with value tied to outcomes such as an additional $30.65 per patient day (PDPM capture), $35.59 per patient day (IPA revenue), and the cited 52% average readmission reduction. Revenue is concentrated in Maryland with stated intent toward the broader Mid-Atlantic region, and the firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional shareholders, funding rounds, or M&A activity.

Direct peers

• Symbria: Symbria delivers therapy, wellness, and pharmacy services as a contracted partner to senior living and post-acute care providers. Its therapy-first, contract-services model is closely aligned with Assisted Rehab's GTM motion of selling PT/OT/SLP and ancillary programs (wellness, fitness) into senior living and SNF operators.
• Fox Rehabilitation: Fox Rehabilitation is a private, clinician-led provider of outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy services delivered on-site at senior living communities, assisted living facilities, and private homes across the Mid-Atlantic and U.S. Both companies compete for the same senior-living therapy contracts with a similar value proposition of bringing therapy directly to residents rather than relying on facility-employed therapists.
• HealthPRO Heritage: HealthPRO Heritage provides contract rehabilitation, wellness, and consulting services to senior living communities, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies across the U.S. It directly competes with Assisted Rehab for SNF and senior living therapy contracts and offers a comparable menu of PT/OT/SLP plus reimbursement optimization.
• Powerback Rehabilitation: Powerback Rehabilitation provides contract physical, occupational, and speech therapy services to skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and continuing care retirement communities. It competes head-to-head with Assisted Rehab for Maryland and Mid-Atlantic senior-living contracts and offers a similar outcomes-driven value proposition.
• Synchrony Health Services: Synchrony Health Services provides on-site therapy, wellness, and pharmacy solutions to senior living and post-acute providers. Its core contract therapy model — PT/OT/SLP delivered at senior living communities — directly mirrors Assisted Rehab's service offering and competitive positioning.
• Renewal Rehab: Renewal Rehab is a contract rehabilitation services provider specializing in therapy delivery to skilled nursing facilities and senior living communities. It competes with Assisted Rehab for facility-level therapy contracts and offers comparable clinical programming and reimbursement support.
• Reliant Rehabilitation: Reliant Rehabilitation is one of the largest U.S. contract therapy providers, delivering PT, OT, and SLP to skilled nursing and assisted living facilities across 40+ states. It is a broad incumbent competitor to Assisted Rehab in the SNF/ALF contract therapy market, differentiated by national scale versus Assisted Rehab's owner-operated regional focus.

Broad incumbents

• Genesis Rehab Services: Genesis Rehab Services is the in-house and contract therapy arm of Genesis HealthCare, one of the largest U.S. skilled nursing and post-acute care operators. It is a broad incumbent that competes with Assisted Rehab both as an internal therapy provider and a third-party contract therapy vendor to non-Genesis SNFs.
• Select Medical: Select Medical operates a national network of specialty hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and outpatient therapy clinics through its Concentra and Select Physical Therapy brands. It is a broad incumbent whose outpatient rehabilitation division competes with Assisted Rehab for skilled nursing and senior living therapy partnerships in overlapping Mid-Atlantic markets.
• Encompass Health: Encompass Health is the largest U.S. owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and also operates a home health and hospice segment. While focused on inpatient rehab rather than contract SNF therapy, it competes for the same PDPM/Medicare reimbursement dollars and overlaps in clinical pathways for post-acute recovery.
