Home Health Aide

Alright, let's talk about this job. I'm looking for a Physical Therapist Assistant to join the TriStar Healthcare at Home team in Nashville, TN. You'd be working with patients in their homes, helping them get back on their feet after an illness or injury. It's a full time position.

What you'd be doing

You're the one who turns the care plan into action. You'll work directly with patients under the supervision of a Physical Therapist.

• Your main focus is delivering therapeutic exercises and functional training. The goal is to help people regain their independence and mobility.
• You'll apply different physical therapy techniques and modalities to manage pain and restore function.
• A big part of the job is monitoring how patients are progressing. You need to document their responses carefully to make sure the care is both safe and effective.
• Teaching is key. You'll show patients and their families how to use any assistive devices and guide them through their home exercise programs.
• You won't be on an island. You're part of a team that includes PTs, nurses, aides, and social workers, all pulling together to support the patient.

The basics you need

This isn't a "learn as you go" role. There are specific credentials we need from day one.

• You must be a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (LPTA).
• A valid Driver's License is non negotiable; you're going to patients' homes.
• The required education is an Associate Degree.

The schedule & support

This is a field role where you manage your own schedule within your assigned caseload. They structure it so your caseload lets you focus on your patients without being spread too thin. You'll have clear processes to follow and a strong partnership with your supervising PTs for backup and guidance. They also mention scheduling flexibility as one of the resources available to you.

A look at what they offer

The benefits package here is pretty extensive. It's one of those "total rewards" setups that covers more than just health insurance.

• For medical coverage, many common services have no cost or a low copay. The plans include prescription drug and behavioral health coverage, plus free telemedicine services and free AirMed medical transportation.
• You can add on dental and vision benefits.
• There's life insurance, disability coverage, and flexible spending accounts.
• A whole suite of supplemental plans: accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity.
• Other optional coverages include auto insurance, home insurance, identity theft protection, legal counseling, long term care coverage, moving assistance, even pet insurance.
• Free counseling services for emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing are available.
• The 401(k) Plan has a 100% match on 3% to 9% of your pay; the percentage matched depends on your years of service.
• An Employee Stock Purchase Plan lets you buy HCA Healthcare stock at a 10% discount.
• Family support benefits cover fertility treatments and family building through Progyny, plus adoption assistance.
A referral service can help you find child care, elder care, pet care, home repair, auto repair, or event planning.

There are consumer discounts through Abenity. For retirement, they offer readiness tools, rollover assistance, and preferred banking partnerships. Education assistance covers tuition, student loans, certification support, even dependent scholarships. They have a colleague recognition program. The Time Away From Work Program bundles paid time off, paid family leave, short- and long term disability coverage, and leaves of absence. * An Employee Health Assistance Fund offers free employee only coverage based on income for full time and part time staff.
