Description
MedAdventures is seeking a compassionate and experienced Physical Therapist to join a PACE program in Albuquerque, NM. This role is ideal for a clinician who enjoys working with the geriatric population in a community-based setting, helping participants maintain independence, prevent falls, and improve functional mobility. You’ll be part of an interdisciplinary care team focused on long-term outcomes and quality of life—not productivity quotas.
Responsibilities:
- Evaluate participants’ functional mobility, balance, and strength to develop individualized treatment plans.
- Provide direct therapy services in the PACE center, participants’ homes, and community settings.
- Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team (OT, SLP, nursing, social work, and medical staff) to coordinate care.
- Recommend and train participants on durable medical equipment (DME) and assistive devices.
- Conduct home safety assessments and provide fall-prevention education.
- Document evaluations, progress notes, and care plans in accordance with PACE program requirements.
- Educate participants, caregivers, and staff on mobility techniques and safe transfer methods.
Qualifications:
- Current and active New Mexico Physical Therapist license.
- Minimum 1 year of clinical experience preferred (geriatric or home health experience a plus).
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for community visits.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive pay (typically $50–$60/hour, depending on experience)
- Comprehensive benefits package
- Supportive interdisciplinary environment with manageable caseloads
- Opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a participant-centered care model
About the PACE Program:
The PACE model provides comprehensive healthcare and social services to older adults living safely in the community. As a PT in this program, you’ll help participants achieve their highest level of independence while collaborating with a dedicated, mission-driven team.

Albuquerque, NM
About
As the largest city in New Mexico, Albuquerque offers something for just about everyone. Charmingly quirky and wonderfully diverse, this town by the Rio Grand is not only an ideal base for day trips to natural wonders like Chaco Canyon, but it also has a rich history and dramatic landscapes of its own. Gaze across the desert and see snow-capped Mount Taylor 100 miles in the distance. The striking confluence of mountain ranges, vast river bordered by cottonwood forest, flocks of sandhill cranes flying overhead and countless colorful hot-air balloons that often fill the morning skies have long-drawn creative types and adventurers. Albuquerque's many highlights include vibrant galleries, world-class museums, farmers' markets and a thriving microbrewery scene. The historic district dubbed Old Town Plaza spans 10 blocks with fabulous restaurants, cafes, shops and the historic San Felipe de Neri Church, constructed in 1793.
