Total Extended Care Services is a growing Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) group focused on improving outcomes for patients in sub-acute and skilled nursing settings. Our team partners closely with therapy staff and facility providers to deliver coordinated, high-impact care that helps patients regain function and quality of life.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on clinical role working directly alongside a PM&R physician in skilled nursing facilities.

  • Coordinate care with primary care providers, nursing staff, social workers, and families
  • Deliver on-site pain management and rehabilitation-focused treatment plans
  • Complete timely and accurate documentation (with flexibility to finish charting remotely)
  • Contribute to improving patient satisfaction, functional independence, and continuity of care

What Success Looks Like

  • Patients under your care demonstrate measurable gains in mobility, function, and independence
  • Reduction in avoidable hospital readmissions through proactive care and coordination
  • Strong collaboration with interdisciplinary teams leading to consistent, aligned care plans
  • High-quality, timely documentation that supports continuity and compliance
  • Positive feedback from patients, families, and facility partners

What We're Looking For

  • Licensed and certified Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant (required)
  • Active Tennessee license
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating across interdisciplinary teams
  • Strong clinical judgment in post-acute or rehabilitation settings (preferred but not required)
  • Organized and detail-oriented, with a focus on outcomes and patient progress
  • Effective communicator with patients, families, and healthcare teams

Compensation And Benefits

Flexible schedule supporting work-life balance

No on-call requirements - evenings and weekends free
