Are you an experienced home health clinician or looking to transition or supplement from outpatient, SNF, or hospice settings? We're here to support you in delivering patient-centered care with unparalleled flexibility and independence.

Why Choose Lifespan Therapy?

• Your Autonomy, Your Schedule: You set your own hours and manage your caseload. Our app puts you in control of your work life.
• Streamlined Workflow: Our innovative app manages all the logistics—credentials, patient details, scheduling, messaging, and invoicing—so you can concentrate on your clinical work.
• Administrative Freedom: We handle all the behind-the-scenes tasks like referrals, authorizations, and DME, allowing you to dedicate your full attention to patient care.
• Efficient Documentation: Our integrated EMR system, TherapySync, makes compliant charting simple and fast, giving you more time back in your day.
• Career Growth: Receive consultative services to ensure your documentation meets the highest professional standards, including Medicare and Title 22.
• Hassle-Free Payments: Earn reliable bi-monthly direct deposits.

What You'll Do

• Provide Skilled PT Care: Conduct comprehensive in-home evaluations and develop individualized plans of care for geriatric patients.
• Implement Therapeutic Interventions: Focus on functional strengthening, gait training, balance, and fall risk reduction to improve patient mobility and independence.
• Manage Your Caseload: Schedule and conduct home visits based on your availability and patient needs.
• Collaborate for Optimal Outcomes: Work with a supportive care team, including other disciplines and supervisors, to ensure coordinated patient care.
• Document Efficiently: Use one simple EMR system for all notes (with tools available to minimize documentation time!)

What You Need

• Valid California Physical Therapist license
• CPR or BLS certification
• Driver’s license and auto insurance
• Physical + TB test (within the last year)
• Professional liability and business license (if applicable)

Where You'll Be Working

Join our team as a home health clinician for East County San Diego, including El Cajon, La Mesa, Lakeside, and Spring Valley. This region offers a suburban, family-friendly atmosphere with a moderate pace. You\'ll be working in an area known for its hiking trails and outdoor activities. Traffic is generally light, and the cost of living is more affordable than on the coast.
