Physical Therapist (PT)

About the role

Adaptive Home Health is building a higher-acuity, patient-centered, skilled home health model. Our ultimate mission is to dramatically improve patient access to home health care. The PT role supports that mission by delivering safe, reliable skilled care in the home within the PT scope — with excellent communication and escalation to the RN/clinical team so patients stay safe and on track.

Responsibilities

• Own the caseload as a case manager: 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.
• Set measurable goals, track objective progress, and adjust treatment quickly when patients stall.
• 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.

Requirements

• Active Texas PT license (in good standing)
• Strong clinical judgment and comfort working independently in the field
• Comfortable escalating changes in condition to RN/MD and documenting rationale clearly
• Strong communication and documentation
• Reliable follow-through on orders, frequencies, 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 PT scope

• Strengthening, functional mobility, and home safety assessment/modification education
• Patient/caregiver coaching with practical home programs
