With an outpatient therapy career in an assisted living or independent living community, you get the best of both worlds: the chance to improve the lives of seniors by meeting them where they live while maintaining greater flexibility in your schedule. You’ll have a smaller caseload than when working in other settings, so you’ll truly get to focus on helping people succeed. You’ll also get to flex your business skills by helping market the clinic, doing your own scheduling and working independently.
You’ll only treat residents Monday-Friday – no evenings or weekends! Plus, you’ll treat residents in their room or in an on-site clinic so there’s no need to travel to homes outside the building. If you have a passion for helping seniors live their best, active lives, we want to hear from you. At Aegis Therapies, we take a patient-centered approach that ensures you’ll have the opportunity to truly make a difference. Apply today.
