Bring Your Skills to Your Patients' Front DOOR.

Home Health Physical Therapy is where you can see the real impact of your work. You'll treat patients in the place they actually live, work with their families, and build the kind of long-term relationships that clinic settings rarely allow. If you want autonomy, variety, and time to focus on the whole person, this role is for you.

Nursing & Rehab At Home is a clinician-owned and operated, family-run agency, proudly rooted in our local community.

Many of our employees have been working with us for over a decade! We offer a relaxed, nurturing environment where patients and staff are both well cared for.

Why You'll Love It Here

Real relationships. You'll get to know your patients and their families, and you'll see them get stronger, more confident, and more independent.

Autonomy you can feel. You'll plan and guide care with trust and support from your Clinical Manager and team.

A team that has your back. You're out in the community, but you're never on your own. With regular huddles, peer support, and celebrations, working with Nursing & Rehab At Home gives you colleagues who feel like family.

Variety. No two days look alike. Different neighborhoods, different stories, different challenges.

Room to grow. Interested in case management? You'll have the chance to take on a caseload and lead care coordination.

What You'll Do

Evaluate and treat patients at home. Assess strength, mobility, gait, and range of motion, and evaluate the home environment for safety risks and rehab potential. Deliver treatment under a physician's plan of care.

Empower patients and caregivers. Teach patients and families how to use and care for therapeutic equipment, and help them understand the goals of the therapy program.

Guide care. Set treatment priorities, track progress toward goals, and keep physicians informed of any changes in a patient's condition.

Coordinate care. Serve as case manager when assigned, help plan discharges, and connect patients with other home health services when needed.

Complete OASIS assessments as assigned.

Collaborate and mentor. Join case conferences and peer consultations, supervise PT assistants, oversee home health aide care when therapy is the only skilled service, and lead in-service education for colleagues.

What We're Looking For

Required

  • A degree in physical therapy (bachelor's, master's, or DPT) from an accredited program
  • An active California Physical Therapy Board license
  • Current CPR certification
  • A valid driver's license and an insured, reliable vehicle
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Preferred

One or more years of PT experience

Home health or community-based experience

What to Expect

This is a field-based role, so you'll be driving to patients' home within our service area. As with any Home Healthcare job, you may be exposed to infections and contagious diseases, and no two situations are the same. You'll be ready for the unexpected, including the occasional emergency.
