- Location: Field Based
- Compensation (Productivity Points): $58.00 / point | $85,000 - $100,000 /year
Adaptive Home Health is building a higher-acuity, patient-centered, skilled home health mode. Our ultimate mission is to dramatically improve patient access to home health care.
The LVN role supports that mission by delivering safe, reliable skilled care in the home within LVN scope — with excellent communication and escalation to the RN/clinical team so patients stay safe and on track.
We build technology designed around the way clinicians actually work, so you can spend less time on documentation and coordination, and more time with patients.
- Smarter charting: Record or dictate visits with AI Scribe, start with prefilled assessments, extract medication lists from photos, and keep all visit information in one easy-to-use place.
- Scheduling that protects your time: Text patients, plan more efficient routes, and stay aligned on visit changes through one clear, coordinated schedule.
What You Will Do
- Deliver skilled PTA visits in the home under the supervising PT’s plan of care.
- Execute treatment plans with a focus on functional mobility and measurable progress: gait/balance, transfers, strengthening, functional mobility, home safety, fall prevention.
- Set/track objective progress within PTA scope and communicate updates/concerns to the supervising PT.
- Drive multidisciplinary coordination: escalate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
- Coach patients and caregivers with practical home programs that actually get done.
- Document promptly and thoroughly in Homecare Homebase (HCHB) — defensible, efficient, and consistent.
- 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/visit (see PTA comp model) with clear expectations.
- 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 clinicians who take pride in raising the standard.
