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

Most visits are crash-recovery cases billed through the patient's auto insurance. From a Chiefland base our PTAs commonly serve Trenton, Bronson, Williston, Fanning Springs, and into Cross City. Visits-per-day are typically smaller, but per-visit pay and minimal competition make the territory genuinely worthwhile for a local PTA. Chiefland sits in Levy County.
