You have a place in the health care industry! One of the most rewarding ways that we can rehabilitate patients is in their own home. Whether recovering from an acute stay away from home or a short-term illness, helping patients learn to navigate the safety challenges that their own home presents is both valuable and rewarding. Home Health is the best way to set patients up for independence and success in their own space, and at the cutting edge of healthcare.
Banner Home Health is a four-star home care agency with a track record for quality and excellence and is the largest skilled home care agency in Phoenix. We provide support to our therapy teams with a robust clinical support team: a field preceptor, an IT specialist, scheduler, therapy supervisor, and nurse manager. Our agency strives for the best possible patient outcomes with support from QI specialists, documentation support specialists, telehealth resources, and more. Having a strong clinical support structure is important to supporting our field clinicians in managing their caseload appropriately while not feeling alone.
