Home health physical therapists lack clear guidance and support from agencies on discharge vs. continuing visits, especially for complex patients who may benefit from more therapy or prevention of decline.

Home health agencies provide no structured decision-support tool or clinical criteria to help therapists justify and negotiate for additional visits, leaving therapists to rely on subjective judgment and agency pressure to discharge.
