You can’t go wrong by deciding to work as a Physical Therapist Assistant because these professionals are required in almost any healthcare facility (especially rural ones) where the elderly are treated.
To qualify as a Physical Therapist Assistant, you will need to complete a 2-year Physical Therapist Assistant program in addition to some practical clinical experience. You will then need to be accredited and licensed with the American Physical Therapy Association.
