Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant

myPlace Health is built around a simple but powerful belief: older adults deserve the support they need to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own communities. As a PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) organization backed by SCAN Group, myPlace Health brings together customized medical care, social activities, and daily support for participants and their families - all under one roof.

Our centers are more than healthcare facilities. They are vibrant community hubs where participants are known by name, valued, and supported as whole people. Behind that experience is a dedicated, interdisciplinary team working together to coordinate care, remove barriers, and improve quality of life for some of the most medically and socially complex populations.

For employees, myPlace Health offers the opportunity to do deeply meaningful work in a highly collaborative setting. Team members are encouraged to contribute innovative ideas, and grow alongside a mission that prioritizes compassion, respect, and impact. The result is a culture where people feel connected-to their colleagues, their participants, and the communities they serve.

At myPlace Health, work is more than a job. It's a shared commitment to honoring what matters most.

As a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (LPTA) in our PACE program, you'll play a vital role in helping older adults maintain their independence, mobility, and overall well-being. Working under the guidance of a Physical Therapist and as a valued member of our Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), you'll bring therapeutic care to life-delivering compassionate, hands-on support tailored to each participant's unique goals.

This is more than a clinical role-it's an opportunity to truly connect. You'll build meaningful relationships, support whole-person care, and make a lasting difference in the lives of frail seniors. Whether you're helping a participant walk more confidently, recover from a hospitalization, or simply stay active and engaged, your care will be essential to their ability to thrive at home and in the community they love.

If you find joy in helping others move forward-literally and figuratively-and you're inspired by mission-driven work in a collaborative, supportive environment, we'd love to welcome you to the team.
