Environmental & Functional Assessments: Evaluate home environments, muscle strength, gait, mobility, and ROM potential to build tailored rehabilitative care plans.
Caregiver & Family Guidance: Educate patients, families, and caregivers on home exercises, safe mobility strategies, and the proper use of therapeutic appliances.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Participate in clinical conferences, coordinate integrated care plans with multidisciplinary teams, and identify referrals for additional home health (PCA) services as needed.
Documentation & Leadership: Maintain progress summaries based on goal attainment and supervise Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) in compliance with state regulations and company standards.
