Or maybe you're an experienced PT interested in growing with a vibrant, supportive team? Either way, Wheatland Health Community Care wants to hear from you!

We're seeking full-time Home Health Physical Therapists who can visit patients' homes, appropriately assess their needs, and develop treatment plans accordingly. Come complete meaningful work while earning above-market pay of $135,000 - $145,000/year, enjoying flexible scheduling, and completing grouped visits that minimize your drive time!

THE INS AND OUTS OF BECOMING OUR HOME HEALTH PHYSICAL THERAPIST

Your Role

You'll travel to homes throughout our service area to assess patients' needs, develop effective treatment plans, and help deliver quality patient care. With a caring and compassionate approach, you'll perform in-home physical therapy evaluations and create custom plans focused on improving patients' mobility, strength, balance, and functional independence as well as preventing falls.

You'll walk patients and their caregivers through the exercises, teach them mobility techniques, and educate them on safely using assistive devices. As you meet with patients, you'll maintain accurate clinical documentation and promptly communicate their progress/condition changes to the care team and physician.

Our Home Health Physical Therapist works closely with nursing, therapy, and administrative teams to maintain comprehensive care and ensure the timely completion of authorized visits.
