Job Description & Requirements
Physical Therapist - Home Health - (PT - HH)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 8 D Pay Rate: $2676.00 - $2758.00

This Home Health Physical Therapist role is based in Portland, Oregon, a city known for its welcoming neighborhoods, vibrant culture, and easy access to nature. Portland offers a unique blend of urban amenities and outdoor adventure, with coffee shops and locally owned restaurants on nearly every corner, extensive bike lanes, and a strong sense of community. Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the country, is within minutes of downtown, and the Columbia River Gorge and Oregon Coast are close enough for day trips and weekend getaways. As a home health PT in Portland, you will enjoy working across a variety of charming neighborhoods—from tree-lined residential streets to walkable districts with parks, cafes, and community centers. The area’s emphasis on active lifestyles and wellness aligns naturally with rehabilitation and mobility-focused care. You will have the opportunity to make a direct impact on patients’ ability to remain safe and independent in their homes while being part of a region that values health, sustainability, and quality of life. In this role, you will provide skilled Physical Therapy services to adult and geriatric patients in their homes throughout the Portland metro area. Your typical day includes traveling between patient residences, completing comprehensive evaluations, designing individualized care plans, and delivering hands-on interventions focused on functional mobility, strength, balance, and fall prevention. You will assess home environments and recommend adaptive strategies or equipment to improve safety and independence. You will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary home health team that may include nursing, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work, and home health aides. Communication is primarily through EMR, phone, and team meetings, allowing you to maintain autonomy in the field while remaining connected to supportive colleagues. Caseloads are structured to allow time for travel, documentation, and thorough patient-centered care, with visit volumes calibrated to maintain high-quality interventions. Documentation is completed in an electronic medical record system, and you will be responsible for timely, accurate notes, updating care plans, and communicating progress to the broader care team. You will educate patients and families on home exercise programs, proper use of assistive devices, and strategies to manage chronic conditions and prevent re-hospitalization. Shifts are generally daytime hours on weekdays, with some flexibility based on patient needs and scheduling preferences. Weekend or evening coverage may be available or occasionally requested, offering opportunities to adjust your schedule as needed. Patient ratios are structured around individual visits rather than unit-based staffing, giving you focused one-on-one time with each patient. This home health PT position is ideal for clinicians who value autonomy, direct patient impact, and the chance to see functional gains in real-life environments. Practicing in Portland means working in a city that celebrates diversity, creativity, and outdoor living, while offering strong community ties and an engaging setting for both professional practice and personal life.
