Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)

About the role

The PTA role at Adaptive Home Health is a core part of our mission to dramatically improve patient access to home health care. You help restore function, keep patients safe at home, and drive real outcomes in partnership with a supervising PT. We also build technology to support field clinicians.

Responsibilities

• Deliver skilled PTA visits in the home under the supervising PT’s plan of care.
• Execute treatment plans with a focus on functional mobility and measurable progress: gait/balance, transfers, strengthening, functional mobility, home safety, fall prevention.
• Set/track objective progress within PTA scope and communicate updates/concerns to the supervising PT.
• Drive multidisciplinary coordination: escalate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
• Coach patients and caregivers with practical home programs that actually get done.
• Document promptly and thoroughly in Homecare Homebase (HCHB) — defensible, efficient, and consistent.

Requirements

• Active Texas PTA license (in good standing)
• Strong clinical judgment and comfort working independently in the field (within PTA scope and under PT supervision)
• Comfortable escalating changes in condition to PT/RN/MD and documenting rationale clearly
• Strong communication and documentation
• Reliable follow-through on treatment plans, visit cadence, and patient goals
• Current driver’s license and comfort with daily travel across assigned territory
• Able to carry/transport basic therapy equipment as needed
• Competency in core home health PTA scope
• Safety-first mobility work: transfers, gait training, balance/fall prevention, assistive device education
• Strengthening, functional mobility, and home safety assessment/modification education
• Patient/caregiver coaching with practical home programs
