For Ascension at Home together with Compassus physical therapist Alvin Guangco in Kokomo, IN, care doesn’t end when the appointment does.
Alvin is known not only for the clinical expertise he brings to his patients, but for the way he sees them — fully, personally and with genuine curiosity about who they are beyond their diagnosis.
In addition to providing physical therapy support, Alvin shares another gift: music. Through music therapy, he creates moments of connection, comfort and joy — helping patients feel seen, heard and emotionally supported in ways that extend far beyond traditional care.
That impact hasn’t gone unnoticed.
His team at The Neal Home Assisted Living Facility in Logansport, Indiana, values him so deeply that they invited him to be the featured performer at their annual Valentine’s Dance, trusting him to host the entertainment and bring the celebration to life. He has become such a meaningful presence that the facility proudly highlights him on their own Facebook page — a reflection of the relationships he’s built and the trust he’s earned.
Alvin’s approach embodies what Care for who I am truly means. It’s not just about mobility or treatment plans — it’s about recognizing the whole person, honoring what brings them comfort and joy, and meeting them where they are.
Through his compassion, creativity and commitment, Alvin brings healing in many forms. He reminds us that care can be physical, emotional and deeply human — sometimes all at once.
We are incredibly fortunate to have Alvin on the Compassus team.
