At UVA Continuum Home Health Care, our therapists provide care to individuals in their homes. Home healthcare clinicians are responsible for assessing, identifying, planning, and providing care with each patient in the home environment. Our home health therapists work collaboratively to develop and implement a patient‑centric plan of care for each individual, and they provide care as part of regional interdisciplinary teams.

Our clinicians work closely with community health providers, UVA Health, and others to ensure safe delivery of care in the home.

UVA Continuum Home Health Care offers therapy clinicians autonomy in their professional practice, scheduling support (including self‑scheduling), mileage reimbursement at the federal level, and a clinical ladder for career advancement. We do not require candidates to have previous home care or OASIS experience. We provide an extensive onboarding orientation/training program for all new therapy clinicians who join our team.
