Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) — In-Home, Florida

Arcadia and DeSoto County sit along US-17 and SR-70, with steady auto-injury referrals from those corridors and personal-injury referrals from neighboring Charlotte and Sarasota counties. Most visits are crash-recovery cases billed through the patient's auto insurance. From an Arcadia base our PTAs commonly cover Nocatee, Fort Ogden, Brownville, and into North Port and Punta Gorda when the route fits. Country drives are longer, but patient adherence is high and the schedule sets itself. Arcadia sits in DeSoto County.
