The Association was established in 1946 to meet the needs of the state’s growing number of long-term care supports and services professionals, which today totals more than 100,000 men and women who care for Ohio’s most frail and vulnerable citizens.
Following the death of Carespring founder Barry Bortz, Chirumbolo took over the reins of the Carespring organization in 2017. Chirumbolo began his career at Carespring 19 years ago as a physical therapist, then served as Executive Vice President of Rehabilitation and most recently as Chief Operations Officer.
Chirumbolo has led the organization through growth and periods of change, maintaining a clinically based culture with locations that frequently earn four stars or better in industry rankings.
Chirumbolo achieved his Geriatric Clinical Specialty Certification from the American Physical Therapy Association. He has taught as an adjunct professor at the College of Mount St. Joseph covering Geriatrics and Prospective Payment System with relation to reimbursement for skilled nursing facilities.
In 2017, Chirumbolo received the Future Five leadership award from Mount. St. Joseph. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Sciences from Mt. St. Joseph, graduating summa cum laude. The following year, he continued his studies to earn his master’s degree in physical therapy.
Carespring is a locally owned senior care organization with 13 facilities throughout Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Its services include nursing care, rehabilitation, respite care, assisted and independent living, hospice and Alzheimer’s care.
