Who We Are
Adaptive Home Health is building a higher-acuity, patient-centered, skilled home health model across Nevada. Our ultimate mission is to dramatically improve patient access to home health care.
The PT role is the front line of that mission: you restore function in the home, build safe routines, reduce avoidable decline, and help patients regain independence in ADLs/IADLs.
We build technology to better support our field clinicians faster and more supported. Ultimately, our clinicians are the customers of our engineering team. Our charting product is designed to reduce documentation burden and keep visits moving, and our scheduling product (launching soon) will make it easier to coordinate visits, reduce last-minute changes, and protect clinician time.
If you have strong clinical judgment and you like owning outcomes, this role gives you autonomy, meaningful patient impact, and a support team built to remove administrative friction.
What You Will Do
Own the caseload as a case manager: you’re accountable for the patient’s therapy plan, progression, and outcomes — not just individual visits.
- Complete comprehensive in-home assessments and deliver skilled PT visits.
- Build and execute a clear plan of care: gait/balance, transfers, strengthening, functional mobility, home safety, fall prevention.
- Set measurable goals, track objective progress, and adjust treatment quickly when patients stall.
- Drive multidisciplinary coordination: communicate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
- Manage treatment and outcomes directly, including PTA supervision where appropriate.
- Coach patients and caregivers with practical home programs that actually get done.
- Document promptly and thoroughly — 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 with an expectation of 28 points/week
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 therapists who take pride in raising the standard.
