Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) - NE | Riverside Home Health Care & Hospice |

Riverside Home Health Care and Hospice • Grants Pass, OR

About The Position

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. 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, and help patients remain safely in their homes. Your work helps patients move from “I can’t” to “I can again.”
