Our Mission:
Our mission is to help people maximize their abilities, independence and quality of life to the point where they can safely return to their own homes and resume living independently. We help our clients to improve in all areas of their functional mobility through individualized exercises, physical therapy and training in specific activities needed to facilitate their return home.
About the Logo:
Although the mountains depicted in the Transition Home logo resemble the mountains surrounding Baker City, Oregon, they have a deeper meaning. When one experiences an injury or a functional decline, recovery can seem as difficult as climbing to the top of a mountain. The task of returning to a prior functional level can seem insurmountable.
As a physical therapist, I‘ve seen many patients reach the peaks of their potential and return home. The pinnacles in the Web site logo are symbolic of the indomitable spirit of the many people who, against all odds, have maximized their potential and regained their abilities; those mountains stand as monuments to their strength, endurance and will. I encourage my patients, and advise them that others have succeeded before them, and that where one has gone, others can follow.
Tom LeBlanc, PT:
A physical therapist since 1974, Tom has worked in Private Practice (for 17 years), home health, acute hospitals, swing bed programs and skilled nursing homes. He worked, for the last two years, for St. Elizabeth’s Health Center, in Baker City Oregon as the lead rehabilitative therapist in the swing bed program. He recently resigned from St. Elizabeth’s Hospital to spend more time at Transition Home. He also does part-time contract work through Guardian Home Health.
His first job out of Physical Therapy school was at Bakersfield Convalescent Hospital. He revised the inpatient department and developed an outpatient Physical Therapy department. He also developed a training program to teach PT aides and restorative aides how to provide quality rehabilitative care for the elderly. Although the classes were authorized by the community college they were taught on-site at the skilled nursing facility. Over 13 of his 30 years of physical therapy practice have been dedicated to working extensively, in skilled nursing facilities, with adults who have experienced various functional declines.
Donna LeBlanc:
Donna was a CNA for about 10 years in the McMinnville area. Donna has provided varying degrees of in-home care to the elderly. She has a unique ability to communicate with individuals on their level. She has a heart for care-giving and she enjoys bringing joy into people's lives. During the past three years she and Tom worked together as adult in-home caregivers. Their goal was to help people remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
