- Assist residents with improving mobility, strength, coordination, balance, endurance, and overall functional independence.
- Monitor residents' progress and modify treatment plans as appropriate.
- Document evaluations, treatments, progress, and discharge information accurately and timely.
- Communicate changes in residents' condition or functional status to the appropriate members of the care team.
- Collaborate with nursing, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social services, dietary, and other disciplines to provide comprehensive care.
- Participate in care plan meetings and interdisciplinary team discussions as appropriate.
- Educate residents and families regarding treatment plans, safety, mobility, exercises, and strategies for continued progress.
- Recommend and assist with appropriate adaptive equipment, positioning, mobility devices, and safety interventions.
- Promote fall prevention and safe mobility throughout the facility.
- Assist with discharge planning and provide recommendations for continued therapy or services when appropriate.
- Maintain compliance with facility policies, professional standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized therapy environment.
- Participate in quality improvement initiatives and facility programs as requested.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
What We're Looking For
- Graduate of an accredited Physical Therapy program.
- Current Physical Therapist license in the State of Montana or eligibility for Montana licensure.
- Current CPR certification or ability to obtain as required.
- Strong clinical assessment and treatment skills.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Compassionate and respectful approach to working with older adults and individuals with varying levels of ability.
- Ability to motivate residents while maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries.
