As a Home Health OT, you will provide individualized occupational therapy services in patients’ homes, helping them improve function, safety, independence, and quality of life.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Completing comprehensive occupational therapy evaluations and assessments in the patient's home.

• Assessing patients' ability to safely perform activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) .

• Developing individualized treatment plans based on each patient's functional needs, goals, and physician orders.

• Providing skilled occupational therapy treatments and interventions according to the plan of care.

• Helping patients improve strength, coordination, balance, mobility, endurance, and functional abilities as appropriate to their occupational therapy needs.

• Providing training in dressing, bathing, grooming, toileting, transfers, meal preparation, and other daily activities as appropriate.

• Assessing the home environment and recommending appropriate safety modifications, adaptive techniques, and durable medical equipment (DME) when indicated.

• Educating patients and caregivers on strategies to promote independence and prevent injury or decline.

• Monitoring patient progress and modifying treatment approaches as clinically appropriate.

• Reliable, professional, and dependable

• Comfortable working independently in patients' homes

• Strong in clinical assessment and problem-solving

• Creative and adaptable when developing individualized interventions

• An excellent communicator with patients, families, and healthcare professionals

• Organized and committed to timely, accurate documentation

• Dedicated to helping patients achieve meaningful functional outcomes

Home health occupational therapy allows you to treat the whole person in the environment where daily challenges actually occur.

Instead of treating patients in a traditional facility, you'll have the opportunity to see firsthand what may be preventing a patient from safely functioning at home — and develop practical, individualized strategies to help them overcome those barriers.

You’ll have the flexibility and independence of working one-on-one with patients while being supported by a collaborative home health team.

If you are an OT who is passionate about helping people regain independence, improve their quality of life, and safely remain in their homes, we would love to have you join our growing team!

Come grow with us and make a difference — one patient, one home, and one goal at a time.
