About the Role
As a Physical Therapist, you will provide essential rehabilitation services to patients within a home health or community setting. Working under the direction of the Clinical or Rehab Director, your primary mission is to assess, evaluate, and treat patients according to physician-approved plans of care. You will play a pivotal role in helping patients regain functional independence, whether through direct treatment, training families in the use of therapeutic appliances, or coordinating with other home health services.
Day in the Life
Your work involves a dynamic mix of clinical assessment and patient education. You will evaluate patients' muscle strength, mobility, and gait to determine their potential for rehabilitation and develop comprehensive plans of care. A significant portion of your time will be spent directing treatment, instructing patients and caregivers on therapeutic goals, and potentially training patients in the use of prosthetic devices.
Beyond direct patient care, you will collaborate closely with the broader care team. This includes participating in case conferences, providing inservice education to nursing personnel, and supervising Physical Therapy Assistants and home health aides. You will also be responsible for documenting clinical progress, preparing summaries based on goal attainment, and leading discharge planning efforts.
Hiring Process & Application
Candidates must possess a degree from an accredited baccalaureate or master's program in physical therapy and hold a valid state license. Two years of experience is required, with community or home health experience preferred. Applicants must also maintain current CPR certification and possess a valid driver's license with an insured, reliable vehicle to travel to patient locations.
Compliance & Culture
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical practice. All team members are expected to fully adhere to our Code of Conduct and Compliance Policies. By joining our organization, you agree to fulfill these duties and understand that violations may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. We value integrity and accountability in every aspect of patient care.
