• Educate residents and families on adaptive techniques, proper use of equipment, and energy conservation strategies as directed by the Occupational Therapist.
• Document daily treatments and resident responses accurately and in a timely manner, following facility, regulatory, and payer requirements.
• Participate in care conferences and team meetings, collaborating with OT, PT, SLP, nursing, and other staff to support safe discharge planning and strong functional outcomes.
