Practice Owner - Licensed PT, OT or SLP
Prava TherapyTHERAPY PRACTICE OWNER | PT/OT/SLP
Own the Practice. Lead the Clinical Program. Make a Difference Every Day.
Albuquerque & Rio Rancho, New Mexico
Prava Therapy
What if you could own the clinical practice you built without having to build the infrastructure behind it?
Prava partners with exceptional clinicians to build and operate concierge-style therapy practices inside senior living communities. We provide the technology, billing, credentialing, operations, marketing, referrals, and business infrastructure.
You bring the clinical leadership. We power the practice.
We're looking for an entrepreneurial, clinically driven Physical Therapist (PT), Occupational Therapist (OT), or Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to establish and lead a thriving therapy practice across two MorningStar Senior Living communities in the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho markets.
These communities offer both Assisted Living and Memory Care, creating an opportunity to develop a comprehensive therapy program that supports residents across varying levels of functional ability, cognitive needs, and clinical complexity.
This is not a traditional therapy job.
You won't simply walk into a schedule and treat the next resident. You'll have the opportunity to build something meaningful.
As the Practice Owner, you will become the clinical leader and face of Prava Therapy within both communities. You'll establish relationships with residents, families, caregivers, physicians, community leadership, and referral partners while developing a therapy program that becomes an integral part of each community.
You'll have the autonomy to shape the clinical program, develop referral relationships, identify opportunities for growth, and create a culture centered around functional independence, communication, mobility, safety, and quality of life.
What You'll Own
Establish, develop, and lead the therapy practice across two MorningStar Senior Living communities in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho.
Maintain a consistent, visible clinical presence and develop strong relationships within both communities.
Provide skilled therapy services within your discipline (PT, OT, or SLP), including evaluations, individualized treatment plans, and evidence-based interventions.
Develop meaningful relationships with residents, families, caregivers, nursing teams, physicians, and community leadership.
Identify residents who may benefit from skilled therapy and establish sustainable referral pathways within each community.
Build a therapy culture focused on functional independence, mobility, balance, fall prevention, activities of daily living, communication, cognition, swallowing, safety, and quality of life.
Develop individualized treatment approaches that account for cognitive impairment, dementia progression, environmental factors, and caregiver involvement.
Collaborate with nursing, wellness, life enrichment, physicians, families, and other interdisciplinary partners.
Identify opportunities to expand therapy services, improve resident outcomes, and increase appropriate therapy utilization.
Establish efficient scheduling practices and manage clinical capacity across both locations.
Recruit, mentor, support, and lead additional clinicians as the practice grows and multidisciplinary staffing needs evolve.
Monitor clinical outcomes, utilization, documentation, referral activity, and overall practice performance.
Participate in Prava's operating rhythm, including weekly coaching, performance reviews, and reporting.
Serve as a clinical expert and trusted therapy resource for both MorningStar communities.
Your Clinical Discipline. A Broader Opportunity.
We recognize that exceptional therapy looks different across disciplines. We're looking for a clinician who brings expertise in their respective field while understanding the value of an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to senior living.
Physical Therapy (PT)
You understand the importance of mobility, strength, balance, endurance, fall prevention, transfers, and functional movement. You recognize opportunities to help residents maintain mobility, reduce fall risk, and participate safely in their daily routines.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
You understand the importance of functional independence, activities of daily living, upper extremity function, cognition, adaptive equipment, environmental modifications, and safety. You recognize opportunities to help residents maintain independence and participate in the activities that make life meaningful.
Speech-Language Pathology (SLP)
You understand the importance of communication, cognition, swallowing, and safe nutritional intake. You recognize opportunities to support cognitive-functional performance, communication, swallowing safety, and meaningful social engagement.
Regardless of discipline, we value clinicians who can demonstrate strong foundational clinical reasoning, think creatively, and recognize opportunities to make a meaningful difference in residents' everyday lives.
Senior Living Requires a Different Kind of Clinician
We're looking for someone who understands that therapy in senior living is about more than improving strength, balance, independence, communication, or swallowing.
It's about understanding the resident, their environment, their goals, and what allows them to continue living as independently and meaningfully as possible.
This is especially important in Memory Care, where dementia may change the way we approach clinical goals, communication, interventions, and measures of success.
We want a clinician who understands that dementia does not mean nothing can be done.
It means thinking differently.
You should be comfortable asking:
What matters most to this resident?
What is limiting their ability to participate in daily life?
What can we realistically improve, maintain, or prevent?
How can therapy make this resident's day safer, more functional, and more meaningful?
How can we equip caregivers and community staff to support residents throughout the day?
Where are the opportunities for PT, OT, and SLP to work together to improve resident outcomes?
We value clinicians who demonstrate strong foundational clinical reasoning, creativity, and the ability to adapt their approach to the individual.
Two Communities. One Clinical Vision.
This opportunity is unique because you'll have the ability to develop a therapy practice across two established senior living communities.
MorningStar of Albuquerque
Located in Albuquerque, this community offers Assisted Living and a dedicated Reflections Memory Care neighborhood. Its approach to resident care emphasizes personalized support, engagement, dignity, and meaningful experiences.
MorningStar of Rio Rancho
Located in Rio Rancho, this community offers Assisted Living and specialized Memory Care through its Reflections neighborhood. Its Lavender Sky philosophy emphasizes meeting residents where they are, embracing their individual needs, and exploring opportunities for meaningful engagement.
As the Practice Owner, you'll have the opportunity to bring consistency, clinical expertise, and a unified therapy vision to both locations while recognizing that each community and resident population has unique needs.
Success will require organization, relationship-building, clinical independence, and the ability to balance your presence across both communities.
What Prava Provides
You focus on building an exceptional clinical practice.
We handle the infrastructure behind it.
Prava provides:
EHR and practice management technology
AI-enabled documentation tools
Revenue cycle management
Credentialing and payer support
Marketing and referral infrastructure
Operational and administrative support
Practice Owner coaching and mentorship
Business intelligence and performance reporting
Clinical leadership and ongoing support
Infrastructure to support future practice expansion
You won't have to build the business infrastructure from scratch. You'll have the support, tools, and resources to focus on developing the clinical program and growing the practice.
What We're Looking For
Licensed Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, or Speech-Language Pathologist in the state of New Mexico.
Strong clinical reasoning, evaluation, and treatment skills within your respective discipline.
Experience or genuine interest in senior living, geriatrics, and Memory Care.
Entrepreneurial mindset and desire to build and lead a clinical practice.
Ability to establish relationships and earn trust with residents, families, community staff, and leadership.
Comfortable being visible, accountable, and independently operating across two communities.
Strong communication, organizational, and documentation skills.
Ability to identify clinical opportunities and develop appropriate referral relationships.
Commitment to clinical excellence, resident-centered care, and measurable outcomes.
Interest in developing a multidisciplinary therapy program and supporting the growth of additional clinical disciplines.
Willingness to make a dedicated, full-time commitment to building and leading the practice across both locations.
Ability to travel between the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho communities as needed.
Why Become a Prava Practice Owner?
Because there is a difference between having a job and building a practice.
You get the autonomy and leadership opportunity of ownership without having to figure out billing, credentialing, technology, marketing, operations, or infrastructure on your own.
You own the clinical practice.
Prava powers the business.
And across these two MorningStar communities, you'll have the opportunity to establish a multidisciplinary therapy program that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of residents while building something that can grow.
Success isn't measured simply by how many visits you provide. It's measured by the residents whose mobility improves, whose independence is maintained, whose communication is supported, whose safety is enhanced, and whose lives are enriched through meaningful clinical intervention.
If You're Ready to Build Something, Let's Talk.
Prava is looking for clinicians who want to lead, build relationships, and make a lasting impact in senior living.
Whether your expertise is Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or Speech-Language Pathology, bring your clinical expertise, entrepreneurial mindset, and vision for what exceptional therapy can look like.
Own the practice. We'll power the platform.
Prava Therapy
Therapy that helps people keep living life on their terms.
