Licensed Physical Therapist

FULL-TIME PHYSICAL THERAPIST The Kensington Sierra Madre | Sierra Madre, California Prava Therapy What if you could practice physical therapy without treating the resident like a diagnosis? Imagine knowing the people on your caseload—not just their medical history. Knowing what they want to keep doing. Knowing what makes them laugh. Knowing when something feels different before anyone has to tell you. And having the time, tools, and clinical freedom to build therapy around their life—not just their impairment. That's Prava. We're looking for a Full-Time Physical Therapist to join our team at The Kensington Sierra Madre. And if you're the kind of PT who believes great therapy should feel personal, purposeful, and deeply connected to the person receiving it, we think you'll love this. THIS ISN'T TRADITIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY. There's a difference between treating someone who happens to live in a senior living community and practicing therapy as part of the community. Here, you'll see the same residents throughout their day. You'll notice how someone moves down the hallway. You'll see how they get into the dining room. You'll learn what activities they love. You'll understand the environment they're navigating every day. And you'll be able to use all of that information to make your clinical decisions better. The community becomes part of your clinical toolbox. WHAT YOU'LL DO You'll provide skilled physical therapy focused on helping residents maintain or regain the strength, mobility, balance, confidence, and independence they need to live the life they want. You'll: Evaluate and treat residents with a wide range of orthopedic, neurologic, balance, mobility, and functional needs. Develop individualized plans of care based on meaningful functional goals. Help residents improve mobility, strength, balance, gait, transfers, endurance, and safety. Identify opportunities for early intervention when you notice a change in function. Incorporate the resident's actual environment and daily routines into treatment whenever appropriate. Help residents return to the activities, routines, and experiences that matter to them. Educate caregivers and community staff on strategies that support mobility, safety, and independence beyond the therapy session. Collaborate closely with OT, nursing, caregivers, families, and community leadership. Communicate changes in resident status proactively and participate in interdisciplinary care. Build genuine relationships with residents and families. Document efficiently and thoughtfully using Prava's technology and AI-enabled tools. Measure what matters: functional progress, meaningful outcomes, and resident impact. Contribute to a therapy culture built around clinical excellence, curiosity, compassion, and accountability. WE WANT YOU TO THINK LIKE A PT—NOT A PROTOCOL. You don't automatically reach for the same treatment because the diagnosis looks familiar. You ask questions. What does this person need to be able to do? What are they afraid of? What changed? What's happening in their environment? What would make the biggest difference in their day? You believe: Every intervention should have a functional purpose. Residents should be appropriately challenged—not underestimated. The environment should be adapted before we blame the resident for not adapting to it. Outcomes matter more than minutes. Caregiver education is part of treatment. Dignity and autonomy are clinical priorities. That's the clinical mindset we're looking for. YOU'LL SEE THE RESULTS IN REAL LIFE. One of the best parts of practicing therapy in senior living? You get to see what happens after the treatment session. You help someone improve their gait—and then see them walking to dinner. You work on transfers—and see them moving more confidently around their apartment. You address balance—and watch them return to an activity they had stopped attending. You build strength—and suddenly they're participating again. Those are the outcomes that matter. Not just what happens on your treatment note. What happens in their life. AND YOU WON'T BE DOING IT ALONE. Prava was built to give clinicians the infrastructure they need to practice great therapy. You bring the clinical expertise. We bring the operating system. You'll have access to modern technology, AI-enabled documentation, clinical standards, operational support, credentialing, billing and revenue cycle infrastructure, and a team committed to helping you succeed. The goal? Less friction. More clinical focus. Better resident care. THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF... You're a Physical Therapist who genuinely enjoys working with older adults. You believe senior living can be one of the most rewarding places to practice. You care about function more than simply completing a treatment session. You enjoy getting to know your residents and building relationships. You're confident clinically but remain curious and willing to learn. You naturally collaborate with the people around you. You see the environment as part of the treatment plan. You want autonomy without being isolated. You want technology to make your job easier—not replace your clinical judgment. You want to work somewhere that values how you practice , not just how many visits you complete. WHAT IF YOUR BEST PT JOB ISN'T IN A CLINIC? What if it's somewhere residents already call home? Somewhere you can know your residents. Build relationships. Think clinically. Practice creatively. And actually see the impact of your work throughout the day. That's what we're building at Prava. Bring your PT expertise. Bring your curiosity. Bring your humanity. We'll bring the operating system. Come practice therapy differently. #J-18808-Ljbffr
