What are the responsibilities and job description for the Licensed Physical Therapist position at Stellar Senior Living?
Part-Time & Full-Time | $45–$52/hr DOE
What You're Walking Into
Cherrelyn Healthcare Center is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Littleton, CO, part of Stellar Senior Living — one of the West's most recognized senior living operators. We're not a revolving door facility. Our therapy team works with residents through real recovery milestones: post-surgical rehab, stroke recovery, fall prevention, and return-to-home planning.
This isn't a high-pressure hospital caseload. You'll have time to do the work right.
The Role
You'll carry a structured caseload of skilled nursing residents, developing and executing individualized PT plans that directly impact mobility, functional independence, and discharge outcomes.
Your day-to-day includes:
- Initial evaluations and goal-setting for new admissions
- Therapeutic exercise, gait training, balance work, and functional mobility
- Transfer training and assistive device assessment
- Coordinating with nursing, OT, SLP, and care teams on shared resident goals
- Family education on home safety, carry-over exercises, and discharge prep
- Documentation in compliance with Medicare and facility standards
No surprises. Clear expectations. A team that shows up for each other.
What We Offer
- $45–$52/hr, commensurate with experience
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid Time Off paid holidays
- 401(k)
- Tuition reimbursement and continuing education support
- Predictable scheduling — no on-call requirements
- A stable, growing company with real advancement pathways into senior therapy and clinical leadership roles
Who Thrives Here
- PTs who want to build genuine relationships with their patients — not rotate through 30-minute slots
- Clinicians who value a collaborative, interdisciplinary care model
- Therapists who are done with the chaos of hospital or acute settings and want consistent, meaningful caseloads
- People who care about older adults — not as a talking point, but as a reason they chose this field
Requirements
- Active Colorado Physical Therapy license in good standing
- Degree from an accredited PT program (DPT or equivalent)
- SNF or post-acute experience preferred — not required for the right candidate
- Strong documentation habits and communication skills
- You must complete the brief screening questions as part of your application
Who we are
"Our supreme goal is to do and be the best in all we undertake, and to provide a Stellar life for our residents, their families, and our employees." - Evrett Benton, CEO
