Full-Time | San Mateo County

Where great PTs come to do their best work.

If you've spent time in a setting where someone was counting your minutes, second-guessing your clinical decisions, or burying you in documentation his is the alternative.

At Health Link Home Health & Hospice, Physical Therapists own their caseload. You design the plan of care, manage your patients, and practice at the top of your license. Our job is to give you the tools, territory, and infrastructure to do that well then get out of your way.

We've been doing this in the Bay Area for over 20 years. That means stable referral flow, organized care coordination, and systems that actually work. You'll serve patients across San Mateo County — from Daly City and South SF down through Redwood City and beyond — with a caseload built around your geography, not against it.

Why PTs Stay at Health Link

Autonomy with backup. You practice independently. Leadership including experienced case managers is available when you want support, not hovering when you don't.
Territory-based scheduling. Your caseload is geographically organized within San Mateo County to minimize windshield time and protect your day.
AI-assisted documentation. Company-issued devices and AI charting tools mean less time on notes and more time on patients.
Consistent census. Stable referral volume from an established, financially sound agency no scrambling to fill your schedule.
A team that coordinates for you. Scheduling and care coordination are handled so your focus stays on clinical work, not logistics.
