Physical Therapist – Help Patients Get Moving Again

Location: Ohio | Home Health | Full-Time/Part-Time Opportunities

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Physical Therapist, you’ll provide individualized therapy in patients’ homes and help them work toward safer, stronger, and more independent movement.

You’ll:

• Evaluate patients and identify their physical therapy needs
• Develop treatment plans based on each patient’s condition and goals
• Work on strength, mobility, balance, coordination, and functional movement
• Provide hands‑on therapy and therapeutic exercises
• Monitor patient progress and adjust treatment as needed
• Teach patients and families exercises and techniques they can continue at home
• Help patients improve their ability to safely move around their homes and communities

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a Physical Therapist who is:

• Licensed as a Physical Therapist in Ohio
• A graduate of an approved Physical Therapy program
• MS/DPT in Physical Therapy or BS with equivalent qualifying experience
• Successfully completed the required state certification examination
• Current with CPR certification
• Committed to continuing education and professional development
• A confident communicator with good interpersonal skills
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
• Dependable, organized, adaptable, and patient-focused
• Comfortable working with patients with physical, emotional, or cognitive challenges
• Comfortable using computers for documentation and communication

Why Home Health?

No two patients—or two homes—are exactly alike.

Instead of seeing patients in the same clinic every day, you’ll travel to their homes and work with them in the environment where they need to function.

You might help a patient improve their walking, practice getting up and down stairs, regain strength after an illness or injury, or learn how to move safely around their home.

It’s therapy with a purpose: helping patients make progress they can actually use in their daily lives.

A Role With Independence and Support

You’ll have the freedom to manage your patients and treatment plans while still having support from the therapy team and leadership.

We believe great therapy comes from combining clinical knowledge with patience, communication, and a genuine commitment to helping people improve.
