Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant

Lifespan Therapy Services

Home Health Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA)
Overview
Since 2008, Lifespan Therapy has empowered qualified clinicians to connect with homebound geriatric patients across California, having served over 100,000 individuals through our innovative app-based network.
Are you an experienced home health clinician or looking to transition or supplement from outpatient, SNF, or hospice settings? We're here to support you in delivering patient-centered care with unparalleled flexibility and independence.
Why Choose Lifespan Therapy?
  • Flexibility and Control: Our app puts you in charge of your schedule and your caseload. Work when and where you want, with a supportive team always available.
  • Streamlined Workflow: Our all-in-one clinician app handles patient management, scheduling, credentialing, and messaging, allowing you to focus on delivering high-quality care.
  • Dedicated to Patient Care: We take care of referrals, authorizations, and billing, so you are free to implement the OT's care plan without administrative distractions.
  • Effortless Documentation: Our single EMR system, TherapySync, provides an easy and compliant platform for all your charting needs.
  • Professional Support: Receive consultative services to ensure your documentation is compliant and meets all professional standards.
  • Hassle-Free Payments: Earn reliable bi-monthly direct deposits.
What You'll Do
  • Provide Skilled COTA Care: Implement individualized plans of care developed by the supervising Occupational Therapist.
  • Perform Therapeutic Interventions: Focus on ADLs, adaptive equipment training, and home safety to help patients improve their independence and safety.
  • Report Patient Progress: Document patient responses to treatment and communicate effectively with the supervising OT to ensure coordinated care.
  • Manage Your Visits: Set your own schedule and visit cadence based on the plan of care.
  • Document Efficiently: Use one simple EMR system for all notes (with tools available to minimize documentation time!)
What You'll Need
  • Valid California Occupational Therapy Assistant license
  • CPR or BLS certification
  • Driver's license and auto insurance
  • Physical + TB test (within the last year)
  • Professional liability and business license (if applicable)
Where You'll Be Working
Join our team as a home health clinician for East County San Diego, including El Cajon, La Mesa, Lakeside, and Spring Valley. This region offers a suburban, family-friendly atmosphere with a moderate pace. You'll be working in an area known for its hiking trails and outdoor activities. Traffic is generally light, and the cost of living is more affordable than on the coast.
