Job description

  • Comp: $17.00 - $18.00 per hour + mileage reimbursement

  • Schedule: Full-time Monday-Friday + some weekends (as needed)

  • Location: Field-based

Adaptive Home Health is building a higher-acuity, patient-centered, skilled home health model across Texas. Our ultimate mission is to dramatically improve patient access to home health care.

The HHA role is essential to that mission: you provide compassionate personal care in the home, support patients in their daily activities, and help us raise the standard for what home health can be.

Who We Are:

We build technology to better support our field clinicians and caregivers. Our charting product is designed to reduce documentation burden and keep visits moving, and our scheduling product (launching soon) will make it easier to coordinate visits, reduce last-minute changes, and protect your time.

If you're compassionate, reliable, and enjoy helping people maintain their independence at home, this role gives you meaningful patient impact and a support team built to remove administrative friction.

What you will do:
  • Provide personal care assistance including bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting.

  • Assist patients with safe transfers, ambulation, and mobility using proper body mechanics.

  • Support patients with medication reminders as directed by the care plan.

  • Monitor and report changes in patient condition, vital signs (when ordered), and daily living activities to the supervising nurse.

  • Perform light housekeeping tasks related to patient safety and care (laundry, meal preparation, maintaining clean environment).

  • Document all care provided accurately and timely in Homecare Homebase (HCHB).

  • Communicate clearly with patients, families, and the care team to ensure continuity of care.

  • Follow infection control practices and maintain patient dignity and privacy.

  • Assist with range of motion exercises and other restorative care activities as ordered.

  • Coordinate with supervising RN/LVN for care plan updates and patient needs.

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.

  • Competitive hourly pay: $17-$18/hour based on experience, plus mileage reimbursement.

  • 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 caregivers: Our charting tools are designed to reduce documentation burden, and our scheduling product (launching soon) will streamline visit coordination and reduce last-minute changes.

  • Mission-driven work: We are here to expand access to high-quality home health care, and we want caregivers who take pride in raising the standard.
