Help Patients Regain Independence — Where It Matters Most 
 
Physical therapy in the home is different. 
 
You’re not working through a list of patients in a clinic. You’re helping people regain strength, mobility, and confidence in the place they live every day. 
 
At Riverside Home Health & Hospice, our PTAs play a critical role in helping patients recover, avoid hospitalizations, and return to the activities that matter most to them. 
 
If you’re a PTA who values independence, patient connection, and meaningful outcomes — this is where your work makes a real difference. 
 
⸻ 
 
Why This Role Matters 
 
As a PTA in home health, your work directly impacts patient recovery and safety. 
 
You will: 
 
• Help patients regain strength, balance, and mobility 
• Support recovery after illness, surgery, or hospitalization 
• Reduce fall risk and prevent re-hospitalizations 
• Carry out therapy plans developed by the Physical Therapist 
• Help patients remain safely in their homes 
 
Your work helps patients move from 
“I can’t” 
to 
“I can again.”

Who Thrives in This Role 
 
Our ideal PTA: 
 
• Enjoys one-on-one patient care 
• Is encouraging, patient, and motivating 
• Communicates clearly with patients, families, and therapists 
• Works independently while staying connected to the care team 
• Is organized and follows through 
• Believes therapy should improve real-life function — not just complete exercises 
 
Home health experience is helpful, but many PTAs find this becomes their preferred way to practice. 
 
⸻ 
 
Why PTAs Choose Home Health at Riverside 
 
✔ One patient at a time 
✔ Flexible daily scheduling and routing 
✔ Variety in patient diagnoses and environments 
✔ Strong collaboration with PTs, nurses, and care teams 
✔ The ability to see real-life functional progress 
 
Instead of treating in a controlled environment, you help patients succeed in real life.

Why Work at Riverside 
 
At Riverside, our mission is simple: 
 
Provide Life Changing Service. 
 
Our PTAs bring that mission to life by helping patients regain independence, confidence, and quality of life. 
 
When a patient says 
“I didn’t think I’d be able to do this again” 
 
—you’ll know your work truly mattered.
