Their multidisciplinary teams comprise nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, home health aides, and medical social workers, all working collaboratively to support patient rehabilitation and independence in the comfort of their own homes. As a branch of Humana Inc., one of the leading healthcare companies in the nation, CenterWell Home Health emphasizes a patient-centric approach to care, delivering integrated and meaningful healthcare experiences tailored to seniors and other vulnerable populations. This comprehensive service ecosystem supports physical, emotional, and social wellness, ensuring high-quality care that promotes healthier and happier lives for patients.

The Home Health Physical Therapist Assistant role is a critical part of CenterWell Home Health’s care delivery team, reporting directly to the Clinical Manager. This position involves administering physical therapy treatment plans within patients' homes as created by the supervising Physical Therapist. The role demands the application of non-complex active and passive manual therapeutic exercises and various therapeutic modalities such as massage, traction, heat, light, cold, water, and electrical treatments. Accurate and timely documentation of client records and clinical information submission is essential to maintain quality care and comply with regulatory standards. The assistant also participates in departmental educational meetings and coordinates in-service training sessions to support professional development and maintain clinical competence.

Ideal candidates for this position are skilled in recognizing and managing the unique physical, emotional, social, and biological changes experienced by the geriatric population and have the ability to communicate fluently in English. The role requires a valid state license to practice physical therapy, current CPR certification, reliable transportation, and a valid driver’s license as it involves travel to patient homes. Experience working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary healthcare team enhances service quality and patient outcomes. This full-time position offers scheduled weekly hours of 40 with a pay rate between $41.00 and $57.00 per visit, translating to an annual salary range of approximately $64,000 to $87,500 depending on location and experience.

CenterWell Home Health strongly supports employee well-being by providing comprehensive employee benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance, retirement savings plan (401(k)), paid time off including holidays, parental and caregiver leave, volunteer time off, short-term and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, and other supportive benefits that encourage smart healthcare choices and personal wellness.
