Job description

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

Sarasota's mix of retirees and post-crash patients along US-41 and I-75 makes it a steady market for in-home PT, and PTAs here often build longer-term, lower-intensity caseloads with strong patient adherence. From a Sarasota home base, our PTAs typically cover Downtown, Gulf Gate, Siesta Key, the Palmer Ranch corridor, Lakewood Ranch, and into Bradenton and Venice when the route fits. The shorter drives and concentrated patient base make this a favorite PTA territory. Sarasota sits in Sarasota County. US-41 and I-75 feed a steady orthopedic, neuro, and post-crash caseload with strong home-program sticking with treatment from retiree patients. Short drives across the Sarasota / Manatee edge make this one of the most efficient territories for in-home work. Communities covered from a Sarasota base include Downtown Sarasota, Gulf Gate, Siesta Key, Palmer Ranch, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Venice.

PT Near Me is a Florida in-home physical therapy company. Our own licensed clinicians treat injury and post-accident patients one-on-one in their homes.
