- Role: Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA)

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 PTA role is a core part of that mission: you help restore function, keep patients safe at home, and drive real outcomes — in partnership with a supervising PT.
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
- 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.
