. The goal is not just care; it's restoring function and improving quality of life
. Supporting patients on their journey back home to a full and active life is truly a rewarding and fulfilling career

Do you give raises? Staff are eligible for performance reviews, where there is always an opportunity for an increase.

Why is this position open? What's great about our field is its variety of practice areas. Therapists/DORs that leave our company, mostly do so to pursue other practice specialties. While many stay PRN with us, we rarely see our therapists joining a competing SNF.

How does corporate support the therapists on the floors? Majority of our Regional Directors, as well as many corporate members, are therapists themselves.

You'll be paired with an experienced therapist who will guide you through documentation, evaluations, treatment methods, and more.
