About The Position
San Antonio Nurses Agency is experiencing tremendous growth, and we are currently looking for a Physical Therapist (PT) to join our dynamic home health care team. In this position, you make it possible for patients to recuperate from illness or injury in the comfort of their own home. A Physical Therapy career with San Antonio Nurses Agency in the home health setting offers schedule flexibility, one-on-one care, and the opportunity to make a real difference. We bring patients the care and support they need to live independently and safely in their place of residence, where they want to be. As a Physical Therapist, you will perform initial and ongoing assessments to evaluate mobility, coordination, strength, and current level of function. You will be responsible for the administration, evaluation, and interpretation of tests and measurements to determine functional goals and outcomes. Additionally, you will provide a written evaluation and plan of care defining physical therapy needs, goals, progress, and expected outcomes. Delivery of physical therapy services will comply with prescribed physician orders, and you will maintain the plan of care by performing timely documentation of client performance, modifying goals and treatment as needed, and determining discharge care plans as appropriate. You will also be responsible for discharge planning, which includes collaborating and educating the patient and their caretakers on the home exercise plan to follow after discharge. Participation in the coordination of services with the healthcare team, physicians, parents/guardians, nurses, etc., is essential. You will document according to policy and procedure and will require minimal supervision or instruction. Effective documentation is crucial to avoid technical or clinical denials subsequent to review by payers. Maintaining effective communication between staff, healthcare team members, and family is vital, and you will serve as a resource consultant for clinical staff. Supervising other personnel such as Physical Therapy Assistants (PTA) and Home Health Aides (HHA) may also be part of your responsibilities. Completing OASIS assessments where allowed by state professional practice and regulation is expected, along with following policies and procedures and conforming to all applicable patient care standards, licensure regulations, and state laws.
