Kyle Kubota, MSCCC-SLP
Director of RehabilitationI attended Oneonta State for 4 years where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Sciences and Communication. In August of 1990, I completed graduate school at Syracuse University where I received a Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology. During my time at SU, I had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings including rehab hospitals, group homes, schools and the outpatient clinic. At the time I was completing my outpatient clinic practicum, I realized my passion for working with individuals who had neurological impairments.
For the majority of my career, I have worked in skilled nursing and rehabilitation communities. I began as a Clinical Fellow and have worked as an SLP, CF mentor, director of rehabilitation, regional rehab director and regional director of education and development. While working in the LTC industry, I realized my second passion; working with individuals living with dementia. Advocating for those most vulnerable we serve is most important to me. My career path organically forked to a new adventure working as a dementia care specialist where I had the opportunity to specialize in an area that brings me so much joy. During my time working with DCS, I shared my knowledge through facilitation of training programs across the US and Canada. I have trained in the areas of Activities, ADLs, and Behaviors as well as a Dementia Capable Care Certification train the trainer course.
On March 1, 2021, I joined the Genesis Rehab team at Academy Manor as Director of Rehabilitation. My hope is to facilitate the growth of our long-term programming to meet the challenging needs of individuals in our LTC environment as we transition to a post COVID world as well as provide exceptional care to our STR community. Additionally, I would love to share my passion of working with individuals living with dementia to enhance how we provide care in a more person-centered manner.
Personal interests include skiing, reading, gardening, and card crafting. I am a proud mom to a son, Kelsey who is a graduate of Clarkson University, Environmental Engineering program where he wrapped up his career as a collegiate Alpine ski racer. My husband Koji is from Japan.
