About The Position

Habitat Health empowers older adults to experience more good days in their homes and communities. Through the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), we provide comprehensive medical care along with support for daily needs such as meals, transportation, and in-home assistance. We deliver coordinated clinical and social care in our centers and directly in participants’ homes, creating a fully integrated experience that brings peace of mind and a true sense of belonging. As we expand our scalable, affordable PACE model to meet the growing and complex needs of aging populations, our mission-driven care teams continue to help participants live well on their own terms. Habitat Health is supported by leading healthcare organizations and investors including New Enterprise Associates, Kaiser Permanente, and Town Hall Ventures. We are entering a period of significant growth and are looking for exceptional teammates to help us scale a better model of care for older adults. The Physical Therapist- Part Time provides physical therapy evaluation and treatment across acute, restorative, and maintenance levels of care for PACE participants, developing individualized treatment plans, conducting home visits as needed, and educating participants and caregivers on exercise programs and DME use. As a core member of the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), this role contributes clinical assessments and care coordination that inform whole-person care planning, while maintaining documentation that meets all regulatory requirements. Beyond direct care, the Physical Therapist serves as a subject matter expert for physical therapy program standardization, team education, and quality audits, supports DME inventory management, and upholds safety and infection control standards — all while contributing to a center culture grounded in Habitat's values and participant belonging.
