StartDate: ASAP
Available Shifts: 8 D
Pay Rate: $2191.00 - $2258.00
This Home Health Physical Therapist position offers the opportunity to practice in and around Owensboro, Kentucky, a welcoming riverfront community along the Ohio River. Owensboro blends small-city charm with modern amenities, featuring a recently revitalized downtown, a popular riverfront park system, and a thriving arts and music culture. Residents enjoy festivals and events throughout the year, including concerts, food and barbecue events, and family-friendly community gatherings. The cost of living is generally lower than national averages, and the area offers a variety of housing options, good schools, and convenient access to parks, trails, and recreational activities.
In this role, you will provide skilled physical therapy services to patients in their homes across Owensboro and surrounding communities. You will work with a diverse adult and geriatric population, including patients recovering from surgery, stroke, cardiac events, orthopedic injuries, and chronic conditions who require functional support and rehabilitation in the home setting. A typical caseload includes patients requiring gait and balance training, strengthening programs, transfer training, fall prevention strategies, endurance improvement, and home safety modifications.
Your primary responsibilities will include performing comprehensive initial and ongoing assessments, developing and implementing individualized plans of care, and coordinating closely with an interdisciplinary team to support optimal patient outcomes. You will conduct home safety evaluations, recommend adaptive equipment, train caregivers and family members, and provide clear education on home exercise programs and functional mobility strategies. Documentation will be completed via an EMR platform, with an emphasis on timely, accurate, and compliant charting.
Most days will include scheduled home visits within a defined geographic territory, allowing you to build strong, ongoing relationships with patients and families. You will generally see multiple patients per day, with visit lengths varying based on evaluation or treatment status. While exact visit volume can vary, the position is structured to balance productivity expectations with the time needed for high-quality, patient-centered care. Travel is primarily local, with limited extended driving, and routes are planned to maximize efficiency.
The home health environment is highly collaborative, with a supportive team culture that includes nursing, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work, and home health aides. You will have the opportunity to participate in case conferences and regular team communication to coordinate care and refine treatment plans. This setting offers exposure to a broad range of diagnoses and functional levels, making it an excellent environment for building clinical expertise and advancing your career in community-based rehabilitation.
Owensboro’s healthcare community is known for its commitment to quality and innovation, and practicing here allows you to be part of a broader system of care that supports patients across the continuum—from hospital to home. This role can be a strong addition to your professional portfolio, particularly if you are interested in deepening your experience in home health, geriatrics, or community mobility. The combination of a supportive, team-oriented work environment and a vibrant, livable city makes this a compelling opportunity for Physical Therapists seeking meaningful, patient-centered work in a welcoming community.
