Support Long-Term Mobility and Independence at Home

@Home Therapy is seeking a Physical Therapist to provide in-home rehabilitation services to adult patients in the Jericho area. This role focuses on improving mobility, restoring functional movement, and helping patients maintain independence within their home environments.

You’ll be working in a community-based setting where therapy is directly applied to real-life movement challenges inside the home.

What You’ll Be Doing

Home Mobility Assessment:

• Evaluate balance, gait, strength, range of motion, and functional mobility in the home environment.
• Identify environmental and physical barriers that may affect safe mobility and independence.
  
  

Functional Rehabilitation Services

• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans to improve or maintain mobility, strength, balance, and functional independence.
• Provide rehabilitation for patients recovering from illness, injury, surgery, or managing chronic conditions.
  
  

Real-World Movement Training

• Train patients in safe transfers, ambulation, stair negotiation (when applicable), and household mobility.
• Educate patients and caregivers on fall prevention, safe movement strategies, and the use of assistive devices.
  
  

Ongoing Progress Monitoring

• Monitor patient progress, reassess functional status, and modify treatment plans based on clinical findings.
• Collaborate with physicians and the interdisciplinary care team to support patient goals.
  
  

Documentation & Compliance

• Complete timely documentation using the agency's electronic medical record (EMR) system.
• Maintain compliance with clinical, regulatory, and agency documentation standards.
  
  

Work Structure & Benefits

• Flexible Scheduling: Choose your availability and manage your caseload independently.
• Field-Based Independence: Deliver care directly in patients’ homes with minimal clinic constraints.
• Operational Support: Administrative staff assist with coordination and scheduling.
• Per-Visit Compensation Model: Competitive pay with the ability to scale based on workload.
  
  

Qualifications

• Active New York State Physical Therapist license.
• Experience with adult rehabilitation preferred.
• Strong understanding of gait, balance, and functional movement training.
• Ability to work independently in a home care setting.
• Strong communication and clinical reasoning skills.
