Job Description

Life Care Centers is seeking a dedicated Physical Therapist to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team, providing compassionate, evidence-based rehabilitation services to primarily senior residents in our Life Care Centers facility.

In this role, you will evaluate patients, develop individualized treatment plans, and deliver skilled interventions designed to restore function, reduce pain, and promote maximum independence and quality of life.

You will work closely with an interdisciplinary team—including nursing, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social services, and physicians—to coordinate comprehensive patient-first care in a family-focused environment.

Responsibilities include performing detailed physical therapy evaluations, setting functional and measurable goals, implementing therapeutic exercise programs, manual therapy, gait and balance training, and the use of appropriate modalities.

You will regularly document patient progress in the electronic medical record, communicate clearly with patients and their families about treatment plans and home exercises, and participate in care plan meetings and discharge planning to support safe transitions of care.

As part of Life Care Centers of America, you will contribute to a culture centered on quality outcomes, dignity, and respect, while following all regulatory, safety, and infection control standards.

This position offers the opportunity to grow professionally through collaboration, mentorship, and exposure to a wide variety of clinical conditions common in geriatric and post-acute rehabilitation, in a team-based environment that values compassion, clinical excellence, and continuous improvement.

Frequently asked questions

  • What license do I need to apply?

    An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.

  • Is this a school-year or year-round position?

    School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.

  • What experience is expected?

    Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
