About CHA PACE

Cambridge Health Alliance's Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a nationally recognized model of care that serves adults aged 55 and older living with chronic medical and/or mental health challenges.

At CHA PACE, our mission is to support our program participants in achieving the highest level of independence within their communities and preventing nursing home placement. Our high-functioning interdisciplinary team supports this goal by providing fully integrated medical and behavioral health services, community resources, and home-based care in a collaborative and supportive environment.

Position Overview

In this unique role, you will provide skilled physical therapy services to older adults in their homes and in our outpatient gym located within the Adult Day Health Center. This position emphasizes proactive and preventive care, setting us apart from traditional, reactive home care models.

As a Physical Therapist in the CHA PACE program, you will:

• Collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team to assess, plan, and implement individualized care plans.

• Provide direct therapeutic interventions in both home and clinic settings.

• Contribute to team meetings and ongoing care coordination discussions.

• Support participants in achieving optimal physical function and independence.

• Work without the burden of OASIS documentation, focusing instead on personalized care delivery and functional outcomes.

With a focus on quality care, service excellence, cultural responsiveness, and performance improvement, this role is ideal for a Physical Therapist who is passionate about geriatric care and preventive healthcare models.

Qualifications

• Bachelors, Masters, or Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy required

• Massachusetts PT License

• Maintains current American Heart Association BLS for Healthcare Providers certification

• At least 1 year PT experience preferred
