The therapist collaborates with residents, families, on-site therapy staff, nursing staff, physicians, and other care team members; may supervise Physical Therapist Assistants as permitted by Ohio law and payer requirements; and participates in care and discharge planning.

The role requires a degree in Physical Therapy from an accredited program and a current Ohio Physical Therapist license or eligibility for Ohio licensure. Experience in skilled nursing, geriatrics, post-acute care, or telehealth is preferred.
