Occupational Therapist (OT)

Job Description

Job Description

Alpine Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Xenia, Ohio is hiring a full-time Occupational Therapist (OT). We're a 99-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center on Office Park Drive in Greene County — minutes from Beavercreek, Fairborn, Yellow Springs, and about 15 minutes from Dayton. We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who wants a manageable caseload, a therapy team that actually works together, and a building where staff know every resident by name.

This Occupational Therapist position is full time and on-site. Our residents come to us for short-term rehabilitation after surgery, illness, or a hospital stay, and we also care for long-term skilled nursing residents, a secured memory care unit, and respite stays — so the Occupational Therapist caseload here is varied and never boring. You'll work side by side with our physical therapy (PT) and speech-language pathology (SLP) staff, nursing, and the interdisciplinary team on individualized, person-centered plans of care. Prior experience as an Occupational Therapist in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) or long-term care (LTC) setting is strongly preferred.

About Alpine

We offer skilled nursing care around the clock, short-term rehabilitation, wound care, PICC line and IV therapy, secured memory care, respite care, and hospice support. Residents have access to an on-site salon, life enrichment programming, and transportation to dialysis and outside medical appointments. Our team treats residents like family — and we treat our therapists the same way.

What You'll Do

• Evaluate new admissions and develop individualized occupational therapy treatment plans and functional goals

• Provide skilled occupational therapy treatment to short-term rehab and long-term care residents, including activities of daily living (ADL) retraining, upper extremity strengthening, functional mobility, cognition, and safety

• Recommend and train residents on adaptive equipment, durable medical equipment, and compensatory techniques

• Complete documentation, daily notes, progress notes, and discharge summaries accurately and on time, in line with Medicare and Medicaid requirements

• Participate in care plan meetings and communicate with nursing, physical therapy (PT), speech-language pathology (SLP), and physicians

• Supervise Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) as assigned

• Educate residents, families, and caregivers to support safe discharges home

Qualifications

• Degree in Occupational Therapy (bachelor's, Master of Occupational Therapy / MOT, or Doctor of Occupational Therapy / OTD) from an ACOTE (Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education) accredited program

• Current Ohio Occupational Therapist (OT) license — or license eligibility in the State of Ohio

• NBCOT (National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy) certification / Occupational Therapist Registered (OTR) status

• Experience as an Occupational Therapist in a skilled nursing facility (SNF), nursing home, or long-term care (LTC) setting is preferred

• Comfortable working with a geriatric population, including residents with dementia and Alzheimer's disease

• Solid documentation skills and familiarity with Medicare Part A and Part B guidelines

• Team player who communicates well with nursing and the rest of the rehab department

What We Offer

• Full-time, on-site schedule with a consistent, varied caseload across short-term rehab, long-term care, and memory care

• An established in-house therapy program with PT, OT, and SLP working together — not siloed

• A supportive administration and a building small enough that your work is seen and appreciated

• An easy Greene County commute from Xenia, Beavercreek, Fairborn, Dayton, Kettering, and Centerville
