Location: Field Based

Compensation (Productivity Points): $58 per point

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.
