Home Health Occupational Therapist (OT) / Miracle Worker

About Us

We are a premier home health agency that actually knows what "OT" stands for. No, we won’t ask you to find our patients a new career. We know you are the masters of the "Job of Living". We love helping people regain independence in their own territory. We are looking for an Occupational Therapist who treats the whole person, loves a flexible schedule, and doesn’t mind using a steering wheel as a dining table.

What You’ll Actually Do (The Real Job Description)

• Correct Everyone: Spend roughly 30% of your day gently reminding patients, families, and random doctors that you are not the Physical Therapist.
• Bathroom Masterclass: Master the art of analyzing toilet setups and shower configurations while trying not to look like a professional burglar.
• Bathing Negotiations: Explain to patients that "home health" means you are coaching them to bathe themselves safely, not personally operating as their twice-a-week luxury spa attendant.
• Environmental MacGyvering: Use soup cans, rolled-up towels, and cheap grip tape to adapt an entire house before the actual durable medical equipment (DME) arrives.
• The Car Office Shuffle: Perfect your mobile workspace setup, balancing a laptop, a coffee cup, and five adaptive shoehorns between client visits.
• Post-Shift Buffering: Spend 5-10 minutes sitting in total, glorious silence in your car after a chaotic evaluation before starting your documentation.

What We’re Looking For

• A Valid License: A current, legal license to practice Occupational Therapy in this state.
• Boundary Explorer: Someone who can walk into a home packed to the ceiling with 40 years of porcelain cat statues and instantly spot the path of least resistance for a walker.
• Bladder Control: The elite ability to calculate exactly which local gas stations or fast-food joints have the cleanest public restrooms along your daily route.
• PT Partner in Crime: Ability to coordinate with our physical therapy team without rolling your eyes when they ask you to work on "upper extremity strength" again.
• Documentation Survival Skills: A person who can conquer electronic medical records software without throwing their tablet out the window.
