What you will do
- Own outcomes, not just visits: you are accountable for the patient’s SLP plan, progression, and functional outcomes.
- Complete comprehensive in-home SLP evaluations and deliver skilled SLP visits.
- Assess and treat (as ordered/clinically indicated):
- Aphasia and other communication disorders
- Cognitive-communication impairment (attention, memory, executive function) impacting safety and independence
- Dysphagia screening/assessment and swallow safety education (within home health scope and orders)
- Build and execute a clear plan of care with measurable, functional goals.
- Drive multidisciplinary coordination: communicate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
- Coach patients/caregivers with practical strategies and routines 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 with clear expectations (market-specific).
- 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: charting tools reduce documentation burden, and scheduling (launching soon) will streamline routing/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.
