Physical Therapist (PT)

What You Will Do

• Own the caseload as a case manager: you’re accountable for the patient’s therapy plan, progression, and outcomes — not just individual visits.
• Complete comprehensive in-home assessments and deliver skilled PT visits.
• Build and execute a clear plan of care: gait/balance, transfers, strengthening, functional mobility, home safety, fall prevention.
• Drive multidisciplinary coordination: communicate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
• Manage treatment and outcomes directly, including PTA supervision where appropriate.
• Coach patients and caregivers with practical home programs that actually get done.
• Document promptly and thoroughly in Homecare Homebase (HCHB) — defensible, efficient, and consistent.
