Job description

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

Lake Wales sits on the Polk County ridge along US-27 and SR-60, two corridors that generate consistent crash-recovery referrals. A large retiree and seasonal-resident base adds post-surgical, balance, and chronic-condition visits throughout the year. From a Lake Wales base our PTAs typically cover Babson Park, Dundee, Frostproof, Haines City, and into Winter Haven. Competition from clinic-based providers is light, so referrals tend to stay with whoever is closest. Lake Wales sits in Polk County.
