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.

Requirements

• Active Texas PTA license (in good standing)
• Strong clinical judgment and comfort working independently in the field (within PTA scope and under PT supervision)

• Strong communication and documentation
• 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
• Competency in core home health PTA scope

  • Strengthening, functional mobility, and home safety assessment/modification education
  • Patient/caregiver coaching with practical home programs

Nice-to-haves

• Prior home health experience
• Homecare Homebase (HCHB) experience (or similar home health EMR)
