Help Patients Regain Independence — Where It Matters Most

Physical therapy in the home is different.

You’re not working through a list of patients in a clinic. You’re helping people regain strength, mobility, and confidence in the place they live every day.

At Riverside Home Health & Hospice, our PTAs play a critical role in helping patients recover, avoid hospitalizations, and return to the activities that matter most to them.

If you’re a PTA who values independence, patient connection, and meaningful outcomes — this is where your work makes a real difference.

⸻

Why This Role Matters

As a PTA in home health, your work directly impacts patient recovery and safety.

You will:

• Help patients regain strength, balance, and mobility
• Support recovery after illness, surgery, or hospitalization
• Reduce fall risk and prevent re-hospitalizations
• Carry out therapy plans developed by the Physical Therapist
• Help patients remain safely in their homes

Your work helps patients move from
“I can’t”
to
“I can again.”

⸻

Who Thrives in This Role

Our ideal PTA:

• Enjoys one-on-one patient care
• Is encouraging, patient, and motivating
• Communicates clearly with patients, families, and therapists
• Works independently while staying connected to the care team
• Is organized and follows through
• Believes therapy should improve real-life function — not just complete exercises

Home health experience is helpful, but many PTAs find this becomes their preferred way to practice.

⸻

Why PTAs Choose Home Health at Riverside

✔ One patient at a time
✔ Flexible daily scheduling and routing
✔ Variety in patient diagnoses and environments
✔ Strong collaboration with PTs, nurses, and care teams
✔ The ability to see real-life functional progress

Instead of treating in a controlled environment, you help patients succeed in real life.

Why Work at Riverside

At Riverside, our mission is simple:

Provide Life Changing Service.

When a patient says
“I didn’t think I’d be able to do this again”

—you’ll know your work truly mattered.
