About the Role

As a Per Diem Physical Therapist at Engage, you'll provide individualized, evidence-based care that helps older adults improve mobility, maintain independence, and enhance their overall quality of life.

  • Promote resident safety and fall prevention through functional assessments, education, and preventative interventions.
  • Provide coverage across one or more assisted living communities based on patient needs and scheduling availability.
  • Educate residents and caregivers on home exercise programs and strategies to support long-term independence and wellness.
  • Maintain timely, accurate documentation and monitor patient progress using EMR systems in compliance with state and facility standards.
  • Communicate effectively with residents, families, facility staff, and the broader Engage clinical team to ensure coordinated, patient-centered care.
  • Build meaningful relationships with residents and community staff while supporting exceptional patient outcomes.
