About the Company

At AlphaCare Home Health, we believe patients deserve more more time, more communication, and more care that actually changes outcomes. While many agencies use technology to increase visit volume, we use it to give clinicians more time with each patient. We are building a home health organization centered on clinical quality, meaningful patient relationships, multilingual community care, and strong operational support for the clinicians delivering care every day.

About the Role

We are seeking skilled and compassionate Occupational Therapists (O.T.s) to join our growing team across the Bay Area.

You will evaluate patients in the home environment, develop individualized treatment plans, and help patients rebuild the skills needed for daily living. You will also collaborate closely with nurses, physicians, therapists, and caregivers to ensure coordinated, outcome-driven care. At AlphaCare, success is measured not only by compliance but by functional improvement, patient independence, communication, and the quality of the patient experience.
