ABOUT US
As a Rehabilitation Professional with over 30 years of rehabilitation experience with the aging population, and seeing a shift in healthcare and reimbursement for services, I wanted to give those I work with greater options for assistance.
I wanted to reach out to any individual and offer him/her support as he/she noticed changes in abilities.
Thus began the parent company, LKY Therapies, LLC.
We Offer:
