Physical Therapist (PT) Full-Time | The Radcliff | Wood Dale, Illinois This is not a traditional therapy job.
At Prava, we believe senior living should be about more than keeping people safe.
It should be about helping people stay active, independent, confident, and engaged in the life they’ve built.
That starts with having the right therapist in the right community.
We’re looking for a full-time Physical Therapist to join our team at The Radcliff in Wood Dale, IL—a privately owned senior living community offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care.
The Radcliff’s philosophy is simple: meet people where they are, understand what matters to them, and adapt care as their needs change.
That philosophy aligns closely with how we believe therapy should be delivered.
Your role You’ll be more than a therapist who comes into a building, sees a caseload, and leaves.
You’ll become a trusted clinical presence within the community.
You’ll get to know residents before they ever need therapy.
You’ll build relationships with families, caregivers, nurses, and community leadership.
You’ll recognize changes in mobility, function, confidence, or participation—and know when intervention can make a meaningful difference.
Your work may include: Providing high-quality physical therapy to residents across Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care Completing comprehensive evaluations and developing individualized plans of care Treating residents with a focus on function, independence, and quality of life Helping residents recover after hospitalization, illness, injury, or a change in functional status Addressing balance, gait, strength, mobility, fall risk, endurance, and functional performance Working closely with caregivers and community staff to carry therapeutic strategies into everyday life Educating residents and families so they understand the why behind therapy Collaborating with the community’s clinical team to identify residents who may benefit from therapy Building relationships throughout the community that help therapy become part of the culture—not an isolated service Using outcomes and functional progress to guide clinical decisions Documenting efficiently using Prava’s technology platform, including AI-enabled documentation tools Participating in a clinical culture built around learning, collaboration, and exceptionally high standards What makes this different?
You’ll have a community—not just a caseload.
We want our therapists to know the residents they serve.
Candidates must be a licensed Physical Therapist in Illinois or eligible for licensure. A genuine interest in working with older adults and the ability to build strong relationships with residents and families are required.
Know who used to walk three miles every morning.
Know who wants to get back to the dining room without a wheelchair.
Know who stopped attending activities because getting there became difficult.
Know who is becoming less confident on the stairs.
Know which daughter is worried about her mom falling.
Those details matter.
Because the best therapy in senior living doesn't begin with a diagnosis.
It begins with knowing the person.
The Radcliff itself emphasizes care that adapts as residents’ needs change and a team approach built around dignity, empathy, and individualized support.
We’re looking for a PT who: Is a licensed Physical Therapist in Illinois or eligible for Illinois licensure Has a genuine interest in working with older adults Believes therapy should be functional, purposeful, and outcomes-driven Builds relationships naturally with residents, families, and interdisciplinary teams Is comfortable working across varying levels of cognitive and physical ability Thinks beyond the impairment and asks, “What does this person actually want to be able to do?” Is confident clinically but humble enough to keep learning Communicates exceptionally well Takes ownership of their community and their clinical outcomes Wants to be part of something bigger than simply completing a schedule Senior living experience is valuable, but it is not required.
What matters most is your clinical judgment, your curiosity, your ability to connect with people, and your belief that older adults deserve exceptional therapy.
Why Prava?
Prava was built specifically to help clinicians deliver better therapy in senior living.
You’ll have the support of a technology platform designed around therapy—not technology that forces therapists to work around it.
That includes: Modern EMR + AI Documentation Spend less time fighting documentation and more time with people.
Clinical Support You’ll have a team behind you and access to clinical standards, resources, and mentorship.
Operational Support Prava handles much of the administrative infrastructure that can otherwise distract therapists from patient care.
A True Senior Living Model We believe therapists should be embedded in the community and work alongside the people who know residents best.
Growth Without Leaving Patient Care As Prava grows, there will be opportunities to develop as a clinician, mentor others, and grow into leadership if that’s where your interests take you.
The kind of therapist we want We don't want someone who simply asks: “How many units do I need to get through today?” We want someone who asks: “What can I help this person do tomorrow that they can't do today?” Someone who sees the resident—not just the referral.
Someone who understands that a five-minute conversation with a caregiver can sometimes be just as important as another exercise.
Someone who believes the goal of therapy isn't simply to make someone stronger.
It's to help them live better.
