Job description

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

Leesburg sits at the center of the Lake County chain-of-lakes region along US-441 and SR-44, with crash referrals off the Turnpike and a dense 55+ population between Leesburg and The Villages edge. Most visits are crash-recovery cases billed through the patient's auto insurance, mixed with post-surgical work. From a Leesburg base our PTAs typically reach Fruitland Park, Lady Lake, Tavares, Howey-in-the-Hills, and into Wildwood. Patient homes cluster tightly in the retirement communities, so a full day rarely means more than 25 minutes of total driving. Leesburg sits in Lake County.
