Job Description & Requirements
Physical Therapist Assistant - Home Health - (PTA - HH)
StartDate: ASAP
Available Shifts: 8 D
Pay Rate: $1737.00 - $1790.00
This home health Physical Therapist Assistant role is based in Atlanta, Georgia, a lively metropolitan area known for its blend of Southern charm, modern skyline, and rich cultural history. Atlanta offers a dynamic lifestyle, with easy access to award-winning restaurants, professional sports, live music, and renowned arts venues. The city’s tree-lined neighborhoods, expansive park system, and nearby outdoor destinations provide ample opportunities for walking, hiking, and recreation between shifts or on days off. With a relatively mild climate and four distinct seasons, Atlanta makes it easy to enjoy both urban conveniences and outdoor activities year-round.
In this position, you will provide one-on-one therapy services to patients in their homes throughout Atlanta and surrounding communities. You will work under the direction of a licensed Physical Therapist to implement individualized plans of care focused on improving mobility, safety, and independence. Typical patients include adults and older adults recovering from surgeries, hospitalizations, or managing chronic conditions such as stroke, cardiac disease, or orthopedic issues.
A typical day includes traveling between patient residences, performing in-home therapy visits, and completing documentation via a mobile EMR platform. You will conduct therapeutic exercises, gait and balance training, functional mobility activities, and home safety interventions, while educating patients and families on safe techniques, equipment use, and strategies to support independence. Visit volumes and patient loads are structured to support quality, patient-centered care rather than rushed appointments.
You will collaborate closely with the supervising Physical Therapist, nurses, occupational therapists, and other members of the interdisciplinary team to coordinate care and adjust treatment plans as needed. The role requires strong clinical judgment in the home environment, where each visit may present unique challenges related to space, home layouts, and individual patient needs.
Schedules typically include daytime hours with some flexibility to accommodate patient preferences and travel considerations across the Atlanta metro area. You will benefit from working in a setting that supports professional growth, exposure to a variety of diagnoses, and the chance to build strong therapeutic relationships with patients in their own environments.
