Compensation (Productivity Points): $75.00 / point | $100,000-$130,000/year
The mission of this role
Deliver excellent home health care to our patients in Detroit, and set the clinical bar, the documentation standard, and the referral-source trust that our market will be built on.
Objectives
Carry a full, high-quality caseload: ramp to ~28 productivity points/week at target visit quality.
Own your patients' outcomes: drive low avoidable-hospitalization rates and strong patient-experience scores; participate in case conferences/team huddles to improve our quality.
Be a referral-source ambassador: every discharge planner, ALF, and physician you touch should want to send the next patient to us because you were responsive and excellent.
Set the standard others copy: your charting, cadence, and judgment become the template we onboard the next cohort against as the pod grows.
What you'll own
Own the caseload as a case manager: you're accountable for the patient's therapy plan, progression, and outcomes - not just individual visits.
Complete comprehensive in-home assessments and deliver skilled PT visits.
Build and execute a clear plan of care: gait/balance, transfers, strengthening, functional mobility, home safety, fall prevention.
Set measurable goals, track objective progress, and adjust treatment quickly when patients stall.
Drive multidisciplinary coordination: communicate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
Manage treatment and outcomes directly, including PTA supervision where appropriate.
Coach patients and caregivers with practical home programs that actually get done.
Document promptly and thoroughly - defensible, efficient, and consistent.
Who you are / how you operate
Dedicated clinician: home health experience strongly preferred
High ownership: you treat your caseload like your own panel and your pod like your own business.
Open mindset: Energized by the opportunity to shape the playbook and refine SOPs
Tech-forward: You want to leverage software to accelerate the charting process, and you'll give us blunt feedback to make it better
Trust-builder: Patients, families, and referral partners believe you because you do what you say.
Must-haves

Comfortable escalating changes in condition to RN/MD and documenting rationale clearly

Current driver's license and comfort with daily travel across assigned territory
Able to carry/transport basic therapy equipment as needed
