Support Long-Term Mobility and Independence at Home

@Home Therapy is seeking a Physical Therapist to provide in-home rehabilitation services to adult patients. This role focuses on improving mobility, restoring functional movement, and helping patients maintain independence within their home environments.
You’ll be working in a community-based setting where therapy is directly applied to real-life movement challenges inside the home.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Home Mobility Assessment:

• Evaluate balance, gait, strength, range of motion, and functional mobility in the home environment.
• Identify environmental and physical barriers that may affect safe mobility and independence.

Functional Rehabilitation Services:

• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans to improve or maintain mobility, strength, balance, and functional independence.
• Provide rehabilitation for patients recovering from illness, injury, surgery, or managing chronic conditions.

Real-World Movement Training:

• Train patients in safe transfers, ambulation, stair negotiation (when applicable), and household mobility.
• Educate patients and caregivers on fall prevention, safe movement strategies, and the use of assistive devices.

Ongoing Progress Monitoring:

• Monitor patient progress, reassess functional status, and modify treatment plans based on clinical findings.
• Collaborate with physicians and the interdisciplinary care team to support patient goals.

Documentation & Compliance:

• Complete timely documentation using the agency's electronic medical record (EMR) system.
• Maintain compliance with clinical, regulatory, and agency documentation standards.

Work Structure & Benefits:

• Flexible Scheduling: Choose your availability and manage your caseload independently.
• Field-Based Independence: Deliver care directly in patients’ homes with minimal clinic constraints.
• Operational Support: Administrative staff assist with coordination and scheduling.
• Per-Visit Compensation Model: Competitive pay with the ability to scale based on workload.

Qualifications:

• Active New York State Physical Therapist license.
• Experience with adult rehabilitation preferred.
• Strong understanding of gait, balance, and functional movement training.
• Ability to work independently in a home care setting.
• Strong communication and clinical reasoning skills.

Ideal Candidate:

This role is well-suited for PTs who:

• Enjoy working independently in a mobile setting.
• Focus on long-term mobility and fall prevention.
