Job description

Are you a PT or PTA ready to see the part of your patient's recovery a clinic never shows you? Home-based therapy gives you the full picture — how your patient actually navigates their kitchen, their stairs, their bathroom. That context changes everything, and so do outcomes.

Empress Healthcare Inc., a Medicare-certified home health agency, is expanding its therapy team across Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Santa Barbara Counties. We're looking for licensed Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants committed to function-focused, patient-centered care in a home setting.

What you’ll do

• Carry out the hands‑on therapy plan your supervising PT has built for each patient
• Help patients work toward the functional goals in their plan — mobility, strength, safety, independence
• Keep your supervising PT in the loop on how each patient is doing, and flag anything that needs a second look
• Teach patients and families the home exercises and daily‑living techniques that are part of their plan
• Keep clear, timely notes, and help your supervising PT prepare progress updates
• Take part in case conferences, in‑services, and team conversations right alongside everyone else

What we’re looking for
