Job Description

CenterWell Home Health is a distinguished provider of comprehensive home health care services dedicated to delivering personalized and high-quality patient care. As part of the larger Humana network, CenterWell Home Health focuses on supporting individuals managing chronic conditions or recovering from injury, illness, surgery, or hospitalization. The organization employs an interdisciplinary team including nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, home health aides, and medical social workers, all working collaboratively to help patients rehabilitate, recover, and regain independence within the comfort of their own homes. This integrated approach promotes patient-centered care that enhances quality of life and supports whole-person wellness, addressing not only physical health but emotional and social well-being as well. CenterWell Home Health’s affiliation with Humana, a leading healthcare services company, places it at the forefront of senior-focused primary care, and home healthcare delivery nationwide, emphasizing innovation and accessibility in healthcare solutions.

This particular role is for a Home Health Physical Therapist Assistant, reporting directly to the Clinical Manager. The position involves administering physical therapy treatment plans developed by licensed Physical Therapists within patients’ homes, enabling them to regain strength, mobility, and independence. The role is pivotal in the rehabilitation process, focusing on implementing therapeutic exercises and modalities such as manual therapy, traction, heat, light, cold, water, and electrical treatments. Clear and timely clinical documentation is essential, along with effective communication with supervisors and team members to address any patient or operational issues. The assistant will also participate in educational activities and departmental coordination to ensure continual professional development and adherence to best practices.

Employment is full-time with typical weekly hours defined but may vary, reflecting the demands and scheduling flexibility characteristic of home healthcare. Compensation is competitive, with a pay range estimated between $64,000 and $87,500 annually, supplemented by pay-per-visit rates. Additional benefits emphasize whole-person wellness, including paid time off, retirement savings plans, employee assistance, and accident insurance. Noteworthy is the role’s patient-facing nature, requiring candidates to undergo tuberculosis screening in compliance with Humana’s health and safety protocols. A valid driver’s license, vehicle insurance, and reliable transportation are mandatory due to the travel demands integral to providing in-home care. The Home Health Physical Therapist Assistant position offers a meaningful opportunity to impact patients’ recovery journeys positively while working in a supportive and professionally enriching environment. CenterWell Home Health’s commitment to diversity and inclusion ensures an equitable workplace free from discrimination, aligned with federal affirmative action policies, welcoming diverse applicants committed to compassionate patient care.
