Per Diem - Physical Therapist

Are you ready to make a meaningful impact in the lives of seniors while enjoying the flexibility of a per diem schedule? Engage Senior Therapy is seeking a dedicated Per Diem Physical Therapist to join our team, providing as-needed coverage at Assisted Living Facilities throughout our Salem, NH region.

About the Role

As a Per Diem Physical Therapist at Engage, you'll provide individualized, evidence-based care that helps older adults improve mobility, maintain independence, and enhance their overall quality of life. You'll work with a diverse geriatric population across independent living, assisted living, dementia, and memory care settings. This is an as-needed, on-call opportunity ideal for a clinician looking for scheduling flexibility and the ability to pick up additional hours based on patient needs and facility coverage requirements.

Your day-to-day:

• Conduct comprehensive evaluations to assess strength, balance, mobility, pain, and functional impairments.
• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans focused on improving mobility, reducing pain, and restoring function.
• Deliver hands-on interventions including therapeutic exercise, balance training, gait training, neuromuscular re-education, and manual therapy techniques.
• Promote resident safety and fall prevention through functional assessments, education, and preventative interventions.
• Provide coverage across one or more assisted living communities based on patient needs and scheduling availability.
• Educate residents and caregivers on home exercise programs and strategies to support long-term independence and wellness.
• Maintain timely, accurate documentation and monitor patient progress using EMR systems in compliance with state and facility standards.
• Communicate effectively with residents, families, facility staff, and the broader Engage clinical team to ensure coordinated, patient-centered care.
• Build meaningful relationships with residents and community staff while supporting exceptional patient outcomes.
