Make a Difference. Build Relationships. Help Seniors Thrive at Home.
Are you a passionate Physical Therapist Assistant looking for a career that offers more than just treatment sessions and productivity goals? At PACE North, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of older adults while working alongside a supportive interdisciplinary team that truly values your expertise.
If you're driven by compassionate care and want to help seniors maintain their independence and quality of life, we'd love to meet you.
About PACE North
PACE stands for Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. We provide comprehensive healthcare and support services to individuals age 55 and older who qualify for nursing home-level care but wish to remain living safely in their own homes.
Since launching in Northern Michigan in 2019, PACE North has been helping older adults age with dignity through an innovative, participant-centered model of care. Our program continues to grow as more families discover this life-changing service.
Why Join PACE North?
We believe our team members are our greatest asset. That's why we offer:
- Monday-Friday daytime schedule
- Competitive pay and regular wage reviews
- Generous PTO and paid holidays
- Health insurance available immediately upon hire
- 401(k) with employer match
- Professional development and growth opportunities
- Collaborative and supportive work environment
- The opportunity to make a lasting impact in your community
What You'll Do
As a Physical Therapist Assistant, you will work under the supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist to provide high-quality therapy services that help participants:
- Improve mobility and functional independence
- Reduce pain and discomfort
- Prevent or minimize physical limitations
- Promote overall wellness and quality of life
Services are provided both at our PACE Center and in participants' homes, allowing you to build meaningful relationships while seeing the direct impact of your care.
One of the most rewarding aspects of working at PACE North is our integrated care model. Because PACE North serves as both the healthcare provider and insurer for participants, care decisions are made by our local interdisciplinary team—not by outside insurance companies. This allows us to focus on what matters most: delivering the best possible outcomes for our participants.
