Job description

LTC Therapy Services is hiring a Physical Therapist Assistant PTA for a full-time role in our skilled nursing facility. Join a respected team delivering personalized care to residents.

Why Choose to Work as a PTA in a Skilled Nursing Facility?

Working in an SNF offers unique rewards that many Physical Therapist Assistants find deeply fulfilling:

• Build lasting relationships with residents and see meaningful, long-term progress in mobility, strength, balance, and daily independence; helping them regain the ability to walk, transfer safely, and participate in activities they love.
• Enjoy a diverse caseload with varied diagnoses, allowing you to implement hands‑on treatments and functional exercises, often more rewarding than faster‑paced acute settings.
• Collaborate closely in a supportive interdisciplinary team (with PTs, OTs, SLPs, nursing, and more), where you play a key role in carrying out plans, reporting progress, and directly improving resident quality of life while preventing complications like falls.
• Benefit from strong job stability, competitive pay potential in nursing facilities, and the chance to make a real difference in geriatric and post‑acute care amid growing demand for skilled mobility support.

In this Physical Therapist Assistant role, you'll:

• Assist the supervising Physical Therapist in evaluating patient status, observing during/after treatments, and reporting progress or changes.
• Implement individualized treatment plans as a PTA, including therapeutic exercises, gait training, manual techniques, stretching, and use of assistive devices like walkers or canes.
• Set clear goals with patients, educate them and families on expectations, and build understanding of their rehab process.
• Counsel patients and families while maintaining precise documentation for all visits, treatments, and outcomes.
