Job Title

Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant - Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

Company Overview

Total Extended Care Services is a growing Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) group focused on helping patients regain function, improve quality of life, and reduce avoidable hospital readmissions in skilled nursing and sub-acute rehabilitation settings. Our clinicians work closely with interdisciplinary care teams to deliver consistent, patient-centered rehabilitation care in senior living communities.

The Opportunity

This role offers the opportunity to work alongside Board-Certified PM&R physicians in a specialized rehabilitation environment where your clinical judgment and collaboration directly impact patient recovery outcomes. Rather than working in a high-volume primary care setting, you will focus on helping patients improve mobility, functionality, pain management, and overall rehabilitation progress.

This is an excellent career move for a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant who values autonomy, interdisciplinary teamwork, flexible scheduling, and meaningful long-term patient impact. You'll be part of a stable and supportive clinical team with the ability to maintain strong work-life balance through a no on-call schedule.

• Support on-site pain management and rehabilitation treatment plans designed to improve patient comfort and reduce hospital readmissions
• Maintain timely and accurate documentation while balancing efficient patient care delivery
• Contribute to a patient-centered, team-oriented culture focused on measurable rehabilitation outcomes and patient satisfaction

What Success Looks Like

Within the first 6-12 months, successful clinicians in this role will:

• Build strong working relationships with facility therapy teams, nursing staff, and collaborating physicians
• Help improve patient functional outcomes and rehabilitation progress across assigned facilities
• Contribute to reduced avoidable hospital readmissions through proactive patient management and coordinated care
• Maintain timely, accurate charting and documentation standards
• Become a trusted clinical resource for interdisciplinary rehabilitation planning and patient care coordination

What We're Looking For

• Licensed Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant
• Active NP or PA certification required
• Current Michigan licensure required
• Strong communication and interdisciplinary collaboration skills
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a team-based rehabilitation model
• Interest in rehabilitation, senior care, pain management, and functional recovery
• Reliable transportation for travel between skilled nursing facilities
