Licensed Physical Therapist - In-Home Visits, Chicago North Side
Elliott Concierge Physical Therapy is hiring a licensed Physical Therapist to provide premium, one-on-one in-home physical therapy in select Chicago neighborhoods.
This is a flexible, part-time 1099 role for a therapist who wants strong per-visit pay, clinical autonomy, high-quality patient relationships, and the ability to provide thoughtful care without the pace and volume of a traditional clinic.
Service Area
This role is focused on in-home visits in select Chicago neighborhoods, especially:
- Lincoln Park
- Lakeview
- Old Town
- Gold Coast
- Streeterville
- River North
- West Loop
- North Center
- Roscoe Village
- Bucktown
- Wicker Park
- Nearby city neighborhoods
Applicants should be realistically willing to serve several of the neighborhoods listed above.
At this time, this opening is not primarily focused on southwest suburbs, western suburbs, far north suburbs, or general Chicagoland coverage.
Compensation and Schedule
Compensation is typically $100-$125 per completed visit, depending on experience, visit type, geography, and clinical fit.
Higher compensation may be available for select evening or weekend visits, short-notice visits, or visits in more difficult-to-cover areas.
Expected volume is approximately 6-20 hours per week, with opportunity to grow as patient volume expands.
Therapists provide their availability, identify the Chicago neighborhoods they are comfortable serving, and accept visits that fit their schedule and service area.
What Makes This Role Different
This is not a high-volume clinic role and it is not traditional home health.
Our model is built around:
- One-on-one care
- Clinical autonomy
- Strong communication
- Continuity of care
- A premium patient experience
Patients choose Elliott Concierge Physical Therapy because they want individualized care, convenience, and a higher level of communication than they typically receive in a busy clinic setting.
ECPT handles patient acquisition, intake, payment logistics, and general practice support so the therapist can focus primarily on patient care, communication, and the patient relationship.

- Need a guaranteed full-time caseload immediately
- Prefer a traditional clinic setting with a fixed daily schedule
- Are uncomfortable traveling to patients’ homes or buildings
- Prefer not to communicate directly with patients and families
- Need frequent supervision or a highly structured clinic environment
- Are primarily looking to serve the suburbs rather than the listed Chicago neighborhoods
