What You’ll Do

• Provide high-quality, individualized physical therapy evaluations and treatments for older adults.
• Work with residents across Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care.
• Develop and implement evidence-based treatment plans based on each resident’s functional goals.
• Address mobility, balance, strength, endurance, gait, fall prevention, transfers, and functional independence.
• Collaborate with caregivers, nursing staff, physicians, and other rehabilitation professionals.
• Educate residents and caregivers on safety, mobility, and home exercise programs.

• Reliable, professional, and organized.

Why Join Us?

• Part-time to start with possible Full-time opportunity with a consistent caseload and schedule.
• Flexible hours to support work-life balance.
• Work primarily with older adults in a senior living setting rather than a traditional high-volume outpatient environment.
• Opportunity to build lasting relationships with residents and become an integral part of the community.
• Supportive and collaborative team environment.
• Opportunities for career advancement and promotions as the program grows.
• Potential to take on additional leadership, clinical, or program-development responsibilities over time.
• A rewarding setting where you can see the direct impact of your work on residents’ independence and quality of life.

The Ideal Candidate

Someone who genuinely enjoys working with older adults, values relationship-based care, and wants more than simply treating patients and moving on to the next appointment. You’ll have the opportunity to become a familiar and trusted face within the community while helping residents maintain their mobility, independence, and quality of life.

If you are looking for a stable, part-time PT position with flexibility, professional growth, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of older adults, we would love to hear from you.
