Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Jobs in Cape Coral, FL — In-Home

Posted October 2, 2026 · PT Near Me · Contract / PRN / Part-time · Pay $60–70/hr

Cape Coral is one of the largest cities in southwest Florida by area, a sprawling residential grid crossed by Cape Coral Parkway, Del Prado Boulevard, and Pine Island Road. Its size means strong demand for in-home care, and the bridges into Fort Myers concentrate the region's crash referrals.

From a Cape Coral base our PTAs typically cover North Fort Myers, Fort Myers, Pine Island, and into Matlacha and Bokeelia. The canal-grid layout keeps addresses easy to reach, and visits cluster well within each quadrant of the city.
