Job description

Seeking Physical Therapists in the Home Health setting

Per-Visit Rates:

$65 per regular PT Visit

Who We Are:

• Role: Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)

Adaptive Home Health is building a higher-acuity, patient-centered, skilled home health model across Texas. Our mission is to dramatically improve patient access to home health care.

The PTA role is a core part of that mission: you help restore function, keep patients safe at home, and drive real outcomes - in partnership with a supervising PT.

We also build technology to support field clinicians. Our charting product reduces documentation burden, and our scheduling product (launching soon) will make routing and visit coordination easier - protecting your time.

What you will do:

• Deliver skilled PTA visits in the home under the supervising PT's plan of care.

• Execute treatment plans with a focus on functional mobility and measurable progress: gait/balance, transfers, strengthening, functional mobility, home safety, fall prevention.

• Set/track objective progress within PTA scope and communicate updates/concerns to the supervising PT.

• Drive multidisciplinary coordination: elevate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.

• Coach patients and caregivers with practical home programs that actually get done.

• Document promptly and thoroughly in Homecare Homebase (HCHB) - defensible, efficient, and consistent.

Why Adaptive

• Operations that back you up: You are supported by an experienced clinical and operational team so you can focus on patient care, not chasing logistics.

• Clear productivity model with upside: You are paid per productivity point/visit (see PTA comp model) with clear expectations.

• Schedule flexibility: We build schedules to make field work sustainable, and we support smart routing and coordination so your day is predictable whenever possible.

• Cutting-edge tech built for clinicians: Our charting tools are designed to reduce documentation burden, and our scheduling product (launching soon) will streamline visit coordination and reduce last-minute changes.

• Mission-driven work: We are here to expand access to high-quality home health care, and we want clinicians who take pride in raising the standard.

• Strong clinical judgment and comfort working independently in the field (within PTA scope and under PT supervision)

• Comfortable escalating changes in condition to PT/RN/MD and documenting rationale clearly

• Reliable follow-through on treatment plans, visit cadence, and patient goals

• Current driver's license and comfort with daily travel across assigned territory

• Able to carry/transport basic therapy equipment as needed
