Home Health - Physical Therapist Assistant
About The Position
Benefit Healthcare was founded in 2013 by a local physical therapist with a simple mission: to bring high-quality, compassionate care to our community. We acquired the company in 2023 and have remained proudly locally operated and committed to honoring that original mission while expanding our reach. As the needs of our community grow, we feel a responsibility to grow with them. Our team has been able to serve more patients than ever without ever compromising the quality of care. We consistently strive to be a 4.5–5 star agency, and when we see those standards slip, we invest in retaining and supporting our staff—because exceptional care starts with a supported team. Everyone in our community deserves the best, and we work every day to deliver exactly that.
