About the Job
ABOUT MY BEST HOMECARE:
My Best Homecare, Inc. (MBHC) is a Joint Commission-accredited DME provider headquartered in San Jose, California, with satellite locations throughout the state. Since 2005, MBHC has been a trusted provider of home respiratory equipment and clinical respiratory support for medically complex adult and pediatric patients - including those living with ALS, neuromuscular disease, spinal cord injury, and ventilator dependency.
We are known for our depth of clinical expertise in home mechanical ventilation - both non-invasive and invasive via tracheostomy - and for our unwavering commitment to patient safety, caregiver education, and regulatory compliance. At MBHC, respiratory therapists are clinical partners, not just equipment delivery staff.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
We are seeking a skilled and compassionate Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) to join our clinical team in a full-time capacity. This is a patient-facing home care role with significant clinical depth. You will deliver high-quality caregiver and patient education, perform equipment setups and evaluations in the home environment, and serve as a clinical liaison to referring physicians, ALS clinics, neurology practices, and hospital discharge teams.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Home Ventilator Management:
- Perform initial setup, ongoing monitoring, and clinical assessment of home mechanical ventilators (invasive and non-invasive).
- Conduct routine in-home ventilator checks.
- Review ventilator download data and document clinical findings.
- Share on-call schedules with other RTs in responding to urgent patient needs and equipment troubleshooting.
Patient & Caregiver Education:
- Deliver comprehensive training to patients, family members, and other caregivers on safe equipment use, alarm management, circuit maintenance, and emergency procedures.
- Reinforce individualized education plans, particularly for newly discharged ventilator-dependent patients.
- Assess caregiver competency and document education in the patient record.
Equipment Setup & Training:
- Perform initial setup and follow-up visits as scheduled.
- Ensure proper interface fitting, mask selection, and circuit configuration.
- Complete and document all required CMS/Medicare order verification, delivery confirmation, and equipment logs per MBHC compliance policies.
Physician & Clinical Liaison:
- Collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals to coordinate patient transitions and ongoing care at home.
- Communicate clinical findings and patient status updates to ordering physicians in a timely and professional manner.
- Participate in care conferences and multi-disciplinary team meetings as requested.
- Support MBHC's business development efforts by building and maintaining strong relationships with referral sources.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Required:
- Active Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential - CRT candidates with strong home care experience will be considered.
- Current California Respiratory Care Practitioner (RCP) license in good standing.
- Demonstrated clinical competency with mechanical ventilation (invasive and/or non-invasive).
- Clean and valid California driver's license and willingness to drive long distance for patient home visits.
- Strong patient and caregiver communication skills - ability to teach complex clinical concepts to non-medical audiences.
- Ability to work independently and exercise sound clinical judgment in the home environment.
Preferred:
- Experience with ALS, neuromuscular disease, pediatric ventilator, or tracheostomy patient populations.
- Familiarity with ventilator platforms such as Philips Trilogy, ResMed Stellar, Breas, or LTV series.
- Minimum 2 years of clinical experience, with at least 1 year in a home care, post-acute, or complex respiratory setting.
WHAT WE OFFER:
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience and credentials.
- Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision.
- Paid time off, sick leave, and California-compliant employee benefits.
- Ongoing clinical education, continuing education support, and professional development opportunities.
- A small, clinician-led organization where your expertise shapes patient care - not a large, impersonal corporation.
