Job description
Sign on bonus: $5,000
The Emerald Peek Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Peekskill, NY is a sub-acute facility with a full time Physical Therapist opening on our in house rehab team. Hiring is done on site by our Director of Rehab and facility leadership, not by an outside recruiter. You will interview with the people you will actually work with.
We are part of a growing network of 35 skilled nursing facilities, which means real clinical support behind you and real places to go from here.
Your Day to Day
Complete physical therapy evaluations covering strength, range of motion, balance, gait, transfers, endurance, and fall risk
Set functional, measurable goals tied to each resident's prior level of function and planned discharge setting, under physician direction
Deliver skilled interventions including therapeutic exercise, gait and transfer training, balance and neuromuscular re education, and functional mobility training
Complete evaluations, weekly progress notes, recertifications, and discharge documentation accurately and on time
Train residents, families, and caregivers on safe mobility, transfers, assistive device use, and home carryover
Partner with nursing on safe transfer status, fall prevention, and restorative programming
Recommend assistive devices, wheelchairs, seating, and durable medical equipment for discharge
Direct and supervise Physical Therapist Assistants and students in accordance with the state practice act
What Makes This PT Job Different
The whole team is in the room. PT, OT, SLP, nursing, dietitian, respiratory, social work, and MDS build one plan together. When a resident plateaus, you are not the only one looking at it.
New graduates are trained, not thrown in. Structured orientation, a named mentor, a gradual caseload ramp, and ongoing in house education from clinicians who want to teach. If sub-acute is new to you, that is expected and planned for.
Leadership that is present. Our Director of Rehab and facility administration are invested in where you want to be in five years and will talk with you about it regularly, not only once a year at review time.
Specialty tracks that are real roles, not titles. A 35 facility network that is still expanding means program development, mentorship, and leadership paths, including:
Falls reduction program leads
Orthopedic and post surgical pathway champions
Cardiopulmonary and step down mobility specialists
Wheelchair seating and positioning clinicians
Assistant director and lead or senior therapist ladder programs
Work life balance is an operating priority. Tell us the schedule you need, and we will work with you to build it. Our residents come first, and happy therapists equal happy patients.
Requirements
Doctor of Physical Therapy, Master of Physical Therapy, or Bachelor of Physical Therapy from a CAPTE accredited program
Valid New York Physical Therapist license, or license eligible
Ability to direct and supervise Physical Therapist Assistants per the state practice act
Sound clinical documentation across evaluation, weekly progress, recertification, and discharge
Commitment to confidentiality, HIPAA, and Federal Resident Rights
Nice to Have
Sub-acute, skilled nursing, or geriatric rehabilitation experience
Background in orthopedic post surgical, neurologic, or cardiopulmonary rehabilitation
New graduates and therapists moving from outpatient, acute, or home care are encouraged to apply. We will get you up to speed.
