Who we are
Adaptive Home Health is building a higher-acuity, patient-centered, skilled home health mode. Our ultimate mission is to dramatically improve patient access to home health care.
The LVN role supports that mission by delivering safe, reliable skilled care in the home within LVN scope — with excellent communication and escalation to the RN/clinical team so patients stay safe and on track.
We build technology designed around the way clinicians actually work, so you can spend less time on documentation and coordination, and more time with patients.
Smarter charting: Record or dictate visits with AI Scribe, start with prefilled assessments, extract medication lists from photos, and keep all visit information in one easy-to-use place.
Scheduling that protects your time: Text patients, plan more efficient routes, and stay aligned on visit changes through one clear, coordinated schedule.
The result: less administrative burden, fewer coordination headaches, and more time for patient care.
What you will do
Own outcomes, not just visits: you are accountable for the patient’s SLP plan, progression, and functional outcomes.
Complete comprehensive in-home SLP evaluations and deliver skilled SLP visits.
Assess and treat (as ordered/clinically indicated):
Aphasia and other communication disorders
Cognitive-communication impairment (attention, memory, executive function) impacting safety and independence
Dysphagia screening/assessment and swallow safety education (within home health scope and orders)
Build and execute a clear plan of care with measurable, functional goals.
Drive multidisciplinary coordination: communicate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
Coach patients/caregivers with practical strategies and routines that actually get done.
Document promptly and thoroughly in Homecare Homebase (HCHB) — defensible, efficient, and consistent.
Why Adaptive
Operations that back you up: you are supported by an experienced clinical and operational team so you can focus on patient care, not chasing logistics.
Clear productivity model with upside: you are paid per productivity point with clear expectations (market-specific).
Schedule flexibility: we build schedules to make field work sustainable, and we support smart routing and coordination so your day is predictable whenever possible.
Cutting-edge tech built for clinicians: charting tools reduce documentation burden, and scheduling (launching soon) will streamline routing/coordination and reduce last-minute changes.
Mission-driven work: we are here to expand access to high-quality home health care, and we want clinicians who take pride in raising the standard.
