To Stand Out

Email Nikky Vogelgesang at View email address on ziprecruiter.com with your resume and a brief overview of your PTA experience, clinical background , and what interests you about providing home-based therapy throughout Central Minnesota.

Great Physical Therapy Shouldn't Depend on Where Someone Lives.

Not every patient can easily get to an outpatient clinic several times a week.

Some are recovering from surgery.

Some recently left the hospital or rehabilitation.

Some have limited transportation.

Others simply aren't strong or mobile enough to safely leave home.

But they still need therapy.

That's where you come in.

As a Physical Therapist Assistant with Home Health Care, Inc. , you'll bring skilled Physical Therapy directly to patients throughout St. Cloud, Sauk Centre, and surrounding Central Minnesota communities.

Instead of waiting for patients to make it to therapy, you'll bring therapy to them.

Be the PTA Your Community Can Count On

Home health gives you an opportunity to use your PTA license differently.

You'll travel directly to patients, work with them one-on-one, and help carry out individualized treatment plans established by the supervising Physical Therapist.

No crowded therapy gym.

No rotating between several patients at once.

Your attention is on the person standing—or working toward standing—right in front of you.

You'll help patients rebuild:

• Strength
  
• Balance
  
• Mobility
  
• Endurance
  
• Coordination
  
• Transfer ability
  
• Walking confidence
  
• Functional independence
  

And you'll do it in the environment where those skills matter most.

Their home.

Your Territory: St. Cloud & Sauk Centre

We're specifically looking for a PTA interested in serving patients throughout the St. Cloud and Sauk Centre areas and surrounding Central Minnesota communities.

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

For a PTA who lives in or around Central Minnesota, this is an opportunity to build a strong home health career closer to the communities you know.

Make Your PTA License Matter Outside the Clinic

The goals you'll work toward aren't theoretical.

Your patient needs enough strength to get out of their recliner.

Enough balance to walk through the hallway.

Enough endurance to make it from the bedroom to the kitchen.

Enough confidence to use the stairs.

Enough mobility to safely get outside again.

You'll see the environment.

You'll understand the barriers.

And you'll provide treatment specifically designed to help patients function more safely within their everyday lives.

That's Physical Therapy with an immediate purpose.

What You'll Do

Working under the direction of the supervising Physical Therapist, you'll:

• Provide one-on-one Physical Therapy treatments in patients' homes
  
• Carry out individualized plans of care
  
• Provide therapeutic exercise and strengthening
  
• Perform gait and mobility training
  
• Improve balance, coordination, transfers, and endurance
  
• Reinforce home exercise programs
  
• Educate patients and caregivers on safe mobility and therapeutic techniques
  
• Monitor patient response and tolerance to treatment
  
• Recognize and communicate changes in condition
  
• Update the supervising PT on patient progress
  
• Collaborate with nurses, OTs, SLPs, physicians, and other interdisciplinary clinicians
  
• Complete timely and accurate clinical documentation
  

Build a Career Around Independence

Home health is different from working inside a traditional therapy department.

You're trusted to manage your schedule.

Travel to your patients.

Provide great care.

Communicate with your team.

Document accurately.

And keep your day moving.

For PTAs who are organized, dependable, and comfortable working independently, that freedom can be one of the best parts of the job.

You're working on your own in the field.

But you're never practicing alone.

You'll remain connected to experienced Physical Therapists, Clinical Managers, and interdisciplinary clinicians whenever you need additional support.

Compensation That Rewards Productivity

This position offers $70,000–$102,000 in annualized earning potential through a paid-per-visit compensation model.

That means motivated PTAs have the opportunity to combine the flexibility and independence of field-based therapy with strong earning potential.

We also provide mileage reimbursement between patient visits.

You Don't Need Home Health Experience to Start

If your PTA career has been spent in:

• Outpatient Physical Therapy
  
• Skilled nursing
  
• TCU
  
• Inpatient rehabilitation
  
• Orthopedics
  
• Assisted living
  
• Neurological rehabilitation
  
• Another direct therapy environment
  

we'd still like to hear from you.

You already know how to help patients move, strengthen, recover, and progress.

We'll help you learn how to bring those skills into their homes.

Then you'll head to the next person who needs you.

$70,000–$102,000 per year (paid per visit).

Mileage reimbursement between patient visits.
