Physical Therapy - PT SNF
About The Position
A physical therapist in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) unit provides rehabilitation for patients who no longer need hospital care but still require daily skilled nursing and therapy. The goal is to restore strength, mobility, and independence so patients can safely return home or move to a less intensive setting. The unit is staffed by an interdisciplinary team, and care plans are physician-supervised. Typical patients are recovering from stroke, joint replacement, fractures, cardiac issues, or general deconditioning. Therapy in these units averages 1–2 hours a day, and stays usually last 2–4 weeks. Coverage is often partially provided by Medicare Part A when criteria are met.
