Job Description

  • Physical Therapist (PT) - Home Health
  • Schedule: Full-time Monday–Friday
  • Location: Field Based (Houston Pod)
  • Compensation (Productivity Points): $75 per point

Who We Are

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 PT role is a core part of that mission: you restore function, keep patients safe at home, and drive real outcomes.

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

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

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.
