Great Company - Physical Therapist Assistant INDEPENDENCE REHAB Employee Review

They truly care about their people and there patients. The area manager can be contacted at any time and never makes you feel bad about it. He hires people that build each other up. He can see peoples strengths and weaknesses and puts them in positions to succeed and helps train in areas of weakness . They treat you like family at this company. They do the right thing. Not shady like many companies out there. Positivity comes from the top and employees are good people who care. not the kind who are obviously there for the money. Team members even from other buildings are incredibly supportive. Managers from buildings that you are not at are supportive.

They need to try and get more contracts. Its one of the best companies out there. Ive been a therapist over 20 years and its one of the top .

Therapist owned, owners in Utah try to maintain connections with local staff, growing company

Work environment varies widely depending on the site and DOR. In the better SNFs, SNF owners care at least a little about patient care. Patients are appropriate for rehab, staff has the ability to use clinical judgment when making therapy recommendations, nurses are cooperative and make patient care a priority, and there is adequate computer and internet access to do documentation. In the less-than-optimal settings, the SNF (not IR) is abusive to employees... their own, and Independence. And the buck gets passed down the line. So, shortstaffed and surly nurses and aides, unhappy patients unless they're milking their hospitalization as a break from the streets (and I don't blame them, at least it's shelter and food if not good medical care), and under the RUG system every resident had to receive exactly 720 minutes of therapy a week, or else. Any variance from 720 minutes for every single resident was a LOSS OF REVENUE and we were going to LOSE OUR CONTRACT. Fortunately, as a per diem therapist, I was able to choose ethics without losing my livelihood.
