Job description

Company Description

Hudson In Home Physical Therapy PLLC delivers outpatient-quality therapy directly in patients' homes, reducing the need for transportation and clinic visits multiple times per week. By providing care in a familiar environment, patients often have more energy for treatment and are more consistent with their therapy sessions. The practice operates like an outpatient clinic but treats patients at home, offering one-on-one, hour-long visits with licensed therapists and no use of aides or assistants. This individualized approach minimizes distractions and supports better recovery outcomes. For many older adults, in-home therapy also allows clinicians to assess daily living activities and tailor interventions specifically to their home setting.
