Patricia Rhoads is the new facility rehab director at Heritage Manor Rehabilitation & Retirement Community. In this new role, she will assist therapy staff in addressing the goals and needs of patients and help nursing and restorative staff to communicate post-therapy program options for exiting patients. Rhoads graduated from Kent State Ashtabula and is a licensed physical therapy assistant. She has experience in skilled nursing facilities with acute rehab and has worked with patients who suffered from strokes, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, cardiac issues, orthopedic surgeries, and more. In addition, Rhoads has some expertise from her time spent as a facility rehab
director with another organization. “My passion is to help others in any way I can or any way my family can,” said Rhoads. “To know that I could be the one to make someone smile or laugh is one of the greatest rewards to
experience.” She is the mother of a 13-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son with her husband of 15 years. As a family, they enjoy travelling to new places and being outdoors, along with their dog, Ella.
