Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant; PTA In-Home Therapy

Job Title:
Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) | Be the Progress Patients Count On

Compensation: $70,000–$102,000 per year (Paid Per Visit) + Mileage Reimbursement

The PT Builds the Plan. You Help Turn It Into Progress.

An evaluation identifies the problem.

A plan of care establishes the goals.

But recovery doesn't happen because a goal was written down.

It happens through everything that comes next.

The exercises.

The repetition.

The encouragement.

The adjustments.

The education.

The days when the patient doesn't think they're improving—but you can see that they are.

As a Physical Therapist Assistant with Home Health Care, Inc., you'll be the clinician working alongside patients throughout that process.

Visit after visit, you're helping turn the plan into progress.

Be the Person Who Keeps Them Going

Recovery isn't always linear.

Some patients are motivated from day one.

Others are scared to fall again.

Some are frustrated by how much strength they've lost.

Some don't believe they'll ever get back to where they were.

That's where a great PTA makes a difference.

You aren't simply counting repetitions.

You're teaching.

Correcting.

Encouraging.

Progressing.

Watching.

And helping your patient recognize that the things they couldn't do two weeks ago are becoming possible again.

Home health gives you the opportunity to build that relationship one-on-one.

No crowded therapy gym.

No bouncing between multiple patients at once.

Just you, your patient, and the next goal you're working toward together.

You’ll provide home-based Physical Therapy throughout communities west and northwest of the Twin Cities, including:

Cokato, Corcoran, Delano, Greenfield, Hamel, Howard Lake, Independence, Long Lake, Loretto, Maple Plain, Medina, Montrose, Mound, Rockford, Waverly, Watertown, Hanover, Annandale, Kimball, Maple Lake, South Haven, Buffalo, and Cold Spring.

Patient scheduling is coordinated geographically whenever possible to help cluster visits and create a more efficient field schedule.

• Standing from a chair without assistance
• Walking with greater confidence
• Improving balance after a fall
• Regaining strength following surgery
• Transitioning to a less restrictive assistive device
• Increasing endurance after hospitalization
• Safely transferring in and out of bed
• Getting outside for the first time in weeks
• Becoming less dependent on a spouse or caregiver

These aren't exercises for the sake of exercise.

They're steps toward getting someone's independence back.

• Provide one-on-one Physical Therapy treatments in patients' homes
• Carry out individualized treatment plans
• Provide therapeutic exercise and strengthening
• Perform gait and mobility training

• Educate patients and caregivers on safe mobility techniques

• Collaborate with nurses, OT, SLP, physicians, and interdisciplinary clinicians
• Complete accurate and timely clinical documentation

The first time they stand without pushing off with both hands.

The extra 20 feet they walk before needing to rest.

The moment they stop reaching for the wall.

The first time their spouse doesn't need to help with a transfer.

Those small improvements add up.

And because you're working with patients throughout their recovery,
you get to see them happen.

That's one of the most rewarding parts of being a PTA in home health.

This is a per-visit position with annualized earning potential of $70,000–$102,000 per year.
