About

Built on belief. Grounded in practice.

Savoy Therapy was founded in 2011 by Kishor “Kris” Thope, PT, Cert. MDT — a practicing physical therapist who believed older adults deserved more than a standard course of treatment. They deserved a clinician who listened, a plan built around their goals, and care that respected where they were in their journey.

That belief hasn't changed. It's just grown.

“My very first patient as a student was a man recovering from a stroke. I was nervous. I wasn't sure I had everything it would take to help him. But before I walked into that room, I made myself a promise: no matter what, I will do my very best for him. That promise became my motto. It still is today — for every patient, in every community we serve.”

Who We Are

Savoy Therapy partners with senior living communities across Central Illinois to deliver physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy — all under one roof, all coordinated with the people who know residents best.

We're not just a therapy provider. We're a care partner. That means showing up consistently, communicating clearly with community teams, and treating every resident as an individual — not a case.

Our team of licensed PTs, OTs, and speech therapists brings the same founding commitment to every session: do your very best for the person in front of you.

How We Work

Therapy works best when it meets people where they are. Our clinicians embed directly into the communities we serve, working alongside staff to understand each resident's daily rhythms, personal goals, and what matters most to them.

Whether someone is recovering from a fall, working to stay independent in their apartment, or finding their voice again after a health setback — we build a plan around their definition of progress.

For Families

If your loved one lives in a community we serve, you're part of the team too. We believe families deserve honest answers, clear explanations, and a therapist who returns calls. Our goal is to be a resource — not just a provider — as you help your loved one age safely, actively, and on their own terms.

Senior living communities currently served across Central Illinois.

Every Savoy Therapy partnership is built on trust, shared values, and a commitment to helping residents do more of what they love.

For Senior Living Communities

A therapy partner that makes your community stronger.

Choosing a therapy partner isn't just a clinical decision — it's an operational one. The right partner makes your staff's job easier, gives families confidence, and raises the standard of care your community is known for.

Here's what a Savoy Therapy partnership looks like in practice:

Direct communication from leadership

You won’t chase down answers. Kris and the Savoy team are accessible, responsive, and treat your concerns with the same urgency you do. Questions get answered. Problems get solved. You always know where things stand.

Monthly educational workshops

Every month, our clinicians bring education directly to your community — for staff, for residents, and for families. Topics range from fall prevention and safe movement to understanding therapy goals and supporting recovery at home.

Complimentary fall prevention screening — for every resident, any time

Every resident in your community receives a complimentary fall prevention screening, no referral required. We believe prevention is part of care — not an add-on. This benefit is available to your residents at any time, at no additional cost.

Collaborative care — not a separate silo

Our therapists work alongside your staff, not around them. We share observations, flag concerns early, and treat your team as partners in every resident’s progress.
