What You’ll Do

Work under the direction of a Licensed Occupational Therapist to deliver personalized, goal-driven care:

• Implement treatment plans to improve patients’ ability to perform daily activities
• Provide hands-on therapy focused on strength, coordination, mobility, and self-care
• Retrain patients in ADLs (dressing, bathing, meal prep, etc.)
• Assess and report on patient progress, function, and home safety needs
• Educate patients and caregivers on techniques, exercises, and safety strategies
• Identify changes in condition and communicate proactively with the OT and care team
• Complete timely, accurate documentation in the EMR
• Support a safe, effective, and coordinated plan of care

• Strong clinical observation, communication, and time management skills
