  • Ensure patient privacy and dignity in both documentation and care delivery.
  • Seek opportunities to enhance clinical knowledge and remain informed on best practices and home health standards.
  • Meet productivity expectations as directed by your Physical Therapist Case Manager.
  • Participate in initial evaluations, reassessments, and discharge planning in collaboration with the Case Manager PT.
  • Participate in on-call or weekend coverage rotation, as required.
What You Bring to the Role

  • Experience treating high acuity patients is a plus.
  • Ability to work effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team (RN, OT, ST, MSW, HHA).
  • Familiarity with case management principles is preferred.
