• Employer-funded 401(k) contributions
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage

• Comfortable with prolonged periods of standing, sitting, bending, and kneeling while completing patient assessments.
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel locally to conduct in-home patient visits.
• Strong communication skills and a commitment to delivering patient-centered care in a home-based setting.
