What You’ll Be Doing
As a Physical Therapist, you’ll provide individualized therapy in patients’ homes and help them work toward safer, stronger, and more independent movement.
You’ll
- Evaluate patients and identify their physical therapy needs
- Develop treatment plans based on each patient’s condition and goals
- Work on strength, mobility, balance, coordination, and functional movement
- Provide hands-on therapy and therapeutic exercises
- Monitor patient progress and adjust treatment as needed
- Teach patients and families exercises and techniques they can continue at home
- Help patients improve their ability to safely move around their homes and communities
- Recommend appropriate equipment and mobility aids when needed
- Communicate with physicians, families, caregivers, PTAs, and other members of the care team
- Complete accurate documentation of evaluations, treatments, progress, and follow-up care

Why Home Health?
No two patients - or two homes - are exactly alike.
Instead of seeing patients in the same clinic every day, you’ll travel to their homes and work with them in the environment where they need to function.
You might help a patient improve their walking, practice getting up and down stairs, regain strength after an illness or injury, or learn how to move safely around their home.
It’s therapy with a purpose: helping patients make progress they can actually use in their daily lives.
A Role With Independence and Support
You’ll have the freedom to manage your patients and treatment plans while still having support from the therapy team and leadership.
We believe great therapy comes from combining clinical knowledge with patience, communication, and a genuine commitment to helping people improve.

This position involves frequent travel for home visits. Candidates must have:
- A valid Ohio Physical Therapist license
- Current CPR certification
- A valid driver’s license
- A safe and reliable vehicle
- Current automobile insurance meeting Ohio requirements
- A working phone and valid email address
- Ability to safely perform patient transfers and other physical aspects of the position, with reasonable accommodation when applicable
Ready to Get Moving?
