• Instruct residents and caregivers in safe mobility techniques and home exercise programs
• Educate residents, families, and facility staff on exercises, care strategies, and wellness techniques.
• Work closely with physical therapy assistants, physicians, and other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care
• Monitor patient progress, adjust treatment plans as necessary, and report any changes in the patient's condition to the physician and family.

Qualifications:

• Graduate of an accredited Physical Therapist Assistant program
• Active New Jersey PTA license (required)
• Prior experience in assisted living, senior care, or skilled nursing preferred—but not required
• Strong clinical knowledge, empathetic communication, adaptability, and teamwork
• CPR and First Aid certified (preferred). Additional certifications in geriatrics or neurological rehabilitation (a plus).
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (required for travel to patients’ homes).

Why Work With Us?
