Speech Therapist (ST/SLP)

About the role

Adaptive Home Health is building a higher-acuity, patient-centered, skilled home health model. Our mission is to dramatically improve patient access to home health care. The SLP role is a core part of that mission: you restore communication, cognition, and swallow safety so patients can function safely at home — and you build caregiver carryover so progress sticks between visits. We also build technology to support field clinicians. Our charting product reduces documentation burden, and our scheduling product (launching soon) will make routing and visit coordination easier — protecting your time.

Responsibilities

• Own outcomes, not just visits: you are accountable for the patient’s SLP plan, progression, and functional outcomes.
• Complete comprehensive in-home SLP evaluations and deliver skilled SLP visits.
• Assess and treat (as ordered/clinically indicated):
  • Aphasia and other communication disorders
  • Cognitive-communication impairment (attention, memory, executive function) impacting safety and independence
  • Dysphagia screening/assessment and swallow safety education (within home health scope and orders)
• Build and execute a clear plan of care with measurable, functional goals.
• Drive multidisciplinary coordination: communicate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
• Coach patients/caregivers with practical strategies and routines that actually get done.
• Document promptly and thoroughly — defensible, efficient, and consistent.

Requirements

• Active Colorado SLP license (in good standing)
• Strong clinical reasoning and ability to operate independently in the field
• Comfort identifying red flags and escalating changes in condition to RN/MD
• Strong caregiver education skills (teach-back, carryover planning)
• 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

Nice-to-haves

• Prior home health experience
• Homecare Homebase (HCHB) experience (or similar home health EMR)
• High-signal neuro experience (stroke, aphasia, cognitive impairment)
• Dysphagia-related experience appropriate for home health
