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

Port Charlotte and Charlotte County sit along US-41, I-75, and the Tamiami corridor, with one of the highest median ages in Florida. Post-joint-replacement, balance, and fall-prevention work is constant, and I-75 supplies steady crash referrals. From a Port Charlotte base our PTAs commonly cover Punta Gorda, North Port, Englewood, Rotonda West, and into Murdock. The county's platted grid of quiet residential streets makes visit-to-visit driving unusually easy. Port Charlotte sits in Charlotte County.
