Job Description

Grow Your Career with CareOne’s In-House Rehab Team

At CareOne, we do things differently. Unlike many skilled nursing companies, we provide rehabilitation services in-house—not through outside contractors. That means as a Physical Therapist with CareOne, you’ll enjoy:

  • Collaboration every day with nursing and clinical staff for stronger patient outcomes.
  • Consistency and stability—you’re part of our team, not a rotating agency.
  • Career advancement opportunities across our large, multi-state network.
  • Supportive culture where therapists are valued as essential members of the care team.

The Physical Therapist's (PT) overall responsibility is to provide care to the resident at the highest level.
