In senior living communities like HealthPRO Heritage, PTAs play a vital role by executing therapy plans that improve mobility and reduce pain. Their hands-on care, including therapeutic exercises and education, helps residents regain independence and enhances quality of life, tailored to geriatric needs.
A valid Florida state PTA license is essential, alongside completion of an accredited associate degree program. Fort Lauderdale employers often favor candidates familiar with state-specific regulations and those who maintain continuing education credits to stay current in physical therapy practices.
PTAs at HealthPRO Heritage engage in patient treatments like manual therapy and exercise facilitation, document progress meticulously, and collaborate closely with therapists and staff. This ensures therapy plans are effectively implemented within a compassionate, team-focused culture.
Fort Lauderdale's growing senior population drives steady demand for PTAs, especially in luxury senior living settings. While competition exists, candidates with licensure and experience in geriatric care often gain an edge in securing roles that offer excellent compensation and benefits.
Licensed PTAs in Fort Lauderdale typically earn between $50,000 to $65,000 annually, which slightly exceeds the national average due to Florida's demand for skilled healthcare professionals and the cost of living in the area, making it a competitive market for physical therapy careers.
