Build Your PTA Career Without Giving Up Your Weekends Healthcare schedules have a way of creeping into the rest of your life. Saturday treatments. Sunday rotations. Holiday weekends. Checking the schedule before making plans. At Legacy Home Care and Home Health Care, Inc., we're offering something refreshingly straightforward: Your patient visits happen during the week. Your weekends belong to you. We're looking for Physical Therapist Assistants to provide home-based therapy throughout Waverly, Watertown, Hanover, Annandale, Kimball, Maple Lake, South Haven, Buffalo, and surrounding communities.

Monday Through Friday Means Monday Through Friday We want this to be clear from the beginning: No Saturday visits. No Sunday visits. No weekend rotation. Full-Time and Part-Time opportunities are available, with a minimum commitment of 2 weekdays and 12 visits per week . If you've been working every other weekend for years, this could be your opportunity to finally get those weekends back.

You're not practicing stairs on equipment in a rehab gym. Those are the stairs your patient needs to climb to reach their bedroom. You're not practicing transfers from a standardized treatment surface. That's the chair they need to safely stand up from every day. You're not recreating obstacles. You're seeing exactly what's standing between your patient and greater independence. Home health gives PTAs the opportunity to take the treatment skills they already have and apply them directly to the challenges their patients encounter every day. See the Results of Your Work in Real Life Your patient was afraid to walk from the bedroom to the kitchen. Now they're doing it independently. Someone who couldn't safely navigate their front steps is finally able to leave the house again. A patient recovering from surgery gradually moves from a walker to a cane. Those aren't just numbers on a progress report. They're pieces of someone's independence coming back. As a PTA, you'll work closely with the supervising Physical Therapist to turn the plan of care into meaningful, measurable progress inside each patient's actual living environment. What You'll Do Provide physical therapy treatment visits in patient homes. Implement individualized treatment plans established by the supervising Physical Therapist. Help patients improve strength, balance, endurance, mobility, and functional movement. Provide gait and transfer training. Guide patients through therapeutic exercises and home exercise programs. Reinforce fall-prevention and safety strategies. Educate patients, families, and caregivers. Monitor patient response to treatment and identify changes in functional status. Communicate patient progress and concerns to the supervising Physical Therapist. Complete accurate and timely EMR documentation. Collaborate with nurses, OTs, SLPs, physicians, and other members of the interdisciplinary care team. Travel between patients within your assigned territory. Coming From Another Therapy Setting? Your Experience Can Translate We'd especially like to hear from PTAs with experience in: Home Health Outpatient Therapy Skilled Nursing Inpatient Rehabilitation Transitional Care Orthopedics Senior Living Long-Term Care Hospital-Based Rehabilitation Geriatric Therapy Previous home health experience is preferred, but it isn't required. If you're comfortable working independently, enjoy building relationships with patients, and want to see how your treatments translate into someone's everyday life, we'd like to talk. What We're Looking For Current Minnesota Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) license. Valid driver's license and reliable transportation. Ability to work independently in a field-based environment. Strong patient communication and relationship-building skills. Excellent organization and time-management abilities. Ability to collaborate effectively with a supervising Physical Therapist. Home health experience preferred but not required. Availability for at least 2 weekdays and 12 visits per week . There's More to Your Week Than Work You can build a strong PTA caseload. You can earn competitively. You can provide hands-on therapy and see your patients make meaningful progress. And you can still know that when the weekend arrives, you're not scheduled to work. For clinicians who have spent years working weekend rotations, that predictability can make a major difference. If you're ready for a PTA opportunity that combines weekday-only scheduling, one-on-one patient care, territory-based flexibility, and meaningful clinical work , we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and email Nikky Vogelgesang at nicole.vogelgesang@hhcare.net with your resume and the weekdays you're interested in working.
