About The Position

HealthPro Heritage has a great opportunity for a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (LPTA) at National Church First Community Village in Columbus, OH. This is a full-time, outpatient role within a senior living community, focusing on treating motivated residents in a functional environment aimed at independence and quality of life.

You will work alongside experienced PTs, OTs, and SLPs in a supportive, team-oriented environment with access to a modern outpatient gym and equipment. The role emphasizes functional, patient-centered care, focusing on mobility, balance, fall prevention, and maintaining independence.
