Preferred Therapy Solutions

5 years ago I started a role with PTS.   It was a blind decision - I had little to no knowledge about Preferred Therapy Solutions when I moved to Massachusetts.   I feel so fortunate to have landed with the right team.  In my short career as a therapist, I’ve learned that the quality of your working life is directly correlated to values of the company you choose to work with.  PTS - hands down - has the best people.  This is a group of therapists working together to deliver quality therapy services every day.  PTS isn't owned by investment banks or shareholders looking to make a buck; PTS is about something of greater value - taking care of people that need help to heal, time to recover and rehabilitation to move.   

I've been working in SNFs since before PPS, so have a good amount of experience (full-time, and PRN) with many companies.    PTS is superb. I travel, so I can honestly say that they have great RDs, and also regional managers who support their staff therapists.   I've met the president of PTS.   She is a PT.  SHE CARES.    About you.  About your patients.  This company really seems to support new grads and therapists early in their careers.  As an employee, I feel supported and empowered to grow my clinical skills.    As a therapist who doesn't prefer to hop around jobs, I don't intend to leave this company who clearly cares about me.

This company is going downhill fast.  All management cares about is productivity and numbers.  They want you to do all of these things they specify as "unbillable time" such as screens and writing an eval, but then question productivity if it falls below a certain percentage.  The company touts itself as being "run by therapists" but if so, these are people that have not been treating patients in years....that is the only explanation for people that expect you to do all of this "unbillable time" work off the clock.  I have a professional degree and when I want to volunteer my time, it is for a cause of my choosing, NOT to do for an essential part of my job.

l learned the benefits and how to use the e-stim to increase independence. I learned some management tasks and performed them during the Team's leader absence. I learned how to collaborate with the patient, families, nursing, and the rehab team in order promote the patient to his or her highest optimal level of independence. 

The most enjoyable part of my day, was helping my patient reach his or her goal. 

The hardest part of my day was staying within the patient alloted time for rehab.

My job requires patience and encouragement in order for the patient to succeed. You also need a good rehab team including the M.D and the nursing staff.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The personal time off is a huge plus. Gives work/life balance. Great leadership! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Changes with Medicare guidelines that are impacting short term rehab. Pressure from insurances. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very positive thinking, collaboration with all disciplines for best outcomes. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
This company promotes training and monitorship’s that focus on personal and company growth. They offer a huge platform for continued education

Stressful work environment. Productivity was unrealistic. People working off the clock to show unrealistic productivity expectations. Management and upper management work together to make it difficult to get any time off. Make sure you use your PTO time especially if you want to leave your job because it will disappear. There is no work life balance at this position. They have a hard time filling positions and poor retention. The work environment was so stressful the morale was habitually low.You hardly get any time to take a break or have lunch. Gone are the days of 15 minute breaks for therapists they don’t exist.

As a prior per diem employee I was excited to get a permanent position. The well organized structure of PTS is reassuring, after having worked for other pitiful companies who lack structure. You're well supported, provided with CEU opportunities and on site continued enrichment. The company shows regular appreciation of its employees, from the Regional Director and Rehab Director. The pay is average. Productivity requirements are 85% for assistants at my SNF which is rough but better than average. 

Management is horrible from DOR, Regional Directors, Compliance Directors and above. They have no business management training and don’t know or care to know how to treat staff with poor communication skills, relying on scare and threat tactics. Work load increases regularly with demands for the same productivity. Management does not listen to the staff with no recognition, appreciation or positive feedback. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
A great supervisor whom is very attentive caring and supportive 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress the environment is supportive, good team that works together we'll.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Supportive with a great team that works well together 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working with a manageable caseload, completing required notes that are due and making rounds to assigned units.

Had a great rehab dept & rehab director. We enjoyed working together and had a good time while working. Company, managers, regionals really try to acknowledge employees and make it feel different from other companies. pdpm hit therapy hard, lots of changes in the past year along w covid but nothing specific to PTS. Salaries arent the highest in the industry, but definately a better vibe than most therapy companies.
