What You Will Do

  • Deliver skilled PTA visits in the home under the supervising PT’s plan of care.

  • 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.

Why Adaptive

  • Clear productivity model with upside: You are paid per productivity point/visit (see PTA comp model) with clear expectations.
  • Schedule flexibility: We build schedules to make field work sustainable, and we support smart routing and coordination so your day is predictable whenever possible.
  • Cutting-edge tech built for clinicians: Our charting tools are designed to reduce documentation burden, and our scheduling product (launching soon) will streamline visit coordination and reduce last-minute changes.
  • Mission-driven work: We are here to expand access to high-quality home health care, and we want clinicians who take pride in raising the standard.
