Job Description
- Part-Time Physical Therapist | Work Inside a Practice Built Differently
- Shadow Ridge at Melrose| Assisted Living + Memory Care | Part-Time
- You don't have to own the practice to work somewhere that feels different.
- Most senior living therapy jobs look pretty similar.
- You get a caseload.
- You see your residents.
- You document.
- You move on to the next building.
- We think there should be another option.
Prava is powering a growing network of therapist-owned practices inside senior living communities. We're looking for a part-time Physical Therapist to join one of our Practice Owners in an Assisted Living and Memory Care community.
This is an opportunity to work inside a practice where clinical care, relationships, and community presence actually matter.
What Makes This Different?
- Your Practice Owner is building the practice.
- Prava powers it.
That means you get the benefits of a thoughtfully built therapy practice without having to be the person who built the business behind it.
Prava provides the technology, clinical infrastructure, billing, credentialing, operational support, and tools that allow the Practice Owner to focus on leading the practice and building relationships in the community.
Your focus?
Great therapy. Great relationships. Great outcomes.
- You'll be part of the community.
- This isn't a drive-by therapy model.
You'll work with residents in Assisted Living and Memory Care, building relationships with the people you serve and becoming a familiar face to residents, families, and the care team.
You'll Have the Opportunity To
- Provide meaningful, function-focused PT
- Build relationships with residents and families
- Partner with nursing, wellness, and community leadership
- Help residents maintain mobility, independence, and quality of life
- Work alongside a Practice Owner who is invested in building something within the community
- Contribute to a clinical culture that values more than simply getting visits completed
- And maybe part-time is exactly what you're looking for.
- Maybe you want to keep another position.
- Maybe you're looking for a few days a week.
- Maybe you're ready to get back into senior living.
- Maybe you want clinical work that feels more personal and connected to the community.
- You don't have to make a giant career move to find something better.
- You can start with a few hours a week.
- Who we're looking for
A PT Who
- Loves working with older adults
- Builds relationships naturally
- Wants to be part of a community
- Takes pride in excellent clinical care
- Is collaborative and self-directed
- Wants a practice environment where their voice matters
- Believes therapy should improve how people live, not simply how they move
- You don't need to be an entrepreneur.
- You don't need to own a practice.
- You just need to want to work somewhere that doesn't feel like every other therapy job.
- Maybe you don't need to own the practice.
- Maybe you just need to find the right one to work in.
- Prava powers the practice.
- Your Practice Owner leads it.
- You bring the PT.
- And together, you build something better for the community.
