Dr. Jenna Smith
Dr. Jenna Smith is a Grand Rapids native and the founder of Vitality At Home. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Northeastern University in Boston, is a board-certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist, and is LSVT BIG certified for Parkinson's. She started this practice after watching too many patients lose momentum once they were discharged from a traditional clinic. Her mission is simple: help older adults stay strong, safe, and independent in the homes they love.
I started Vitality At Home because care should not stop at the clinic door. When therapy comes to you, follow-through becomes part of real life, and that is where lasting independence is built.
What guides the work.
The work is guided by a few things I will not compromise on: one-on-one time with a licensed therapist for the full visit, honesty about your progress, and a plan built around your real home and your real goals. You will never be passed to an aide or handed a generic sheet of exercises. For older adults especially, staying independent is not about doing more, it is about doing the right things consistently, in the place where you actually live your life.
Off the clock.
Life beyond the treatment table.
As a Grand Rapids native, Jenna built this practice around the community she grew up in. Founding Vitality At Home came from a simple frustration: watching patients do well in the clinic, then lose their progress once they got home without support. Bringing therapy into people's living rooms and kitchens was her answer, and helping neighbors stay independent in the homes they love is still what drives her every day.
