Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant

Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Full-Time | The Radcliff | Wood Dale, Illinois You’re not just joining a therapy team. You’re becoming part of a community. At Prava, we believe therapy in senior living should feel different. It shouldn’t be about walking into a building, seeing a list of patients, completing treatments, and walking back out. It should be about knowing the people you serve. We’re looking for a full-time Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) to join our team at The Radcliff in Wood Dale, Illinois —a family-owned senior living community offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. The Radcliff is built around personalized care, connection, independence, and helping residents continue to live meaningful lives. Their philosophy is centered on meeting residents where they are and adapting support as their needs evolve. That is exactly how we believe therapy should work. What you’ll do As a Prava PTA, you’ll work alongside the Physical Therapist to deliver exceptional, functional therapy to residents throughout the community. You’ll: Provide skilled physical therapy interventions under the direction and supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist Treat residents across Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care Help residents improve strength, balance, mobility, endurance, gait, and functional performance Carry out individualized plans of care with clinical judgment and attention to each resident’s goals Observe and communicate changes in resident condition, function, and response to treatment Reinforce home exercise programs and functional strategies Provide caregiver and resident education Collaborate with nursing, caregivers, families, activities, and other members of the interdisciplinary team Help identify changes in function that may warrant additional clinical assessment Participate in fall prevention, mobility, and wellness initiatives Document efficiently through Prava’s technology platform and AI-enabled tools Contribute to a clinical culture focused on outcomes, function, and quality of life But here’s what makes this different. You’ll have a community—not just a caseload. At The Radcliff, residents are encouraged to remain active and engaged through fitness, activities, social programs, gardening, creative programs, dining, and community events. Your job is to help residents continue participating in those things. Maybe it’s helping someone safely walk to the pub. Maybe it’s getting someone strong enough to participate in an exercise class. Maybe it’s improving balance so a resident can confidently navigate the community. Maybe it’s helping someone return to an activity they stopped doing because mobility became difficult. Those are therapy outcomes. We want you to see the person behind the diagnosis and understand what matters to them. The PTA we’re looking for You are: A licensed Physical Therapist Assistant in Illinois Passionate about working with older adults Comfortable working with residents across different functional and cognitive abilities A strong communicator A relationship builder Curious and willing to keep learning Comfortable working as part of an interdisciplinary team Someone who takes pride in doing things the right way Someone who understands that dignity and autonomy matter Someone who believes therapy should have a purpose beyond the exercise itself Senior living experience is preferred, but not required . We can teach you the setting. We can’t teach you to care. Why Prava? Prava was built specifically for rehabilitation in senior living. You’ll have: A modern therapy platform Spend less time wrestling with technology and more time treating residents. AI-enabled documentation Technology designed to reduce administrative burden and give clinicians more time for people. Clinical support Work alongside experienced clinicians with access to clinical standards, resources, and mentorship. An embedded community model You’ll become a familiar face within The Radcliff—not a therapist residents see once and forget. Opportunities to grow As Prava grows, so can you—whether your path remains clinical or eventually leads toward mentorship or leadership. We don’t measure your value by how many treatments you can get through. We care about whether residents are moving better, functioning better, participating more, and living more confidently. Because the goal isn’t simply to make someone stronger. It’s to help them live better.
