Recovery Isn't Just About Getting Stronger. It's About Feeling Like Yourself Again. After a hospitalization, surgery, stroke, fall, or illness, patients often come home to a life that suddenly feels different. Getting dressed takes longer. Making breakfast feels exhausting. Taking a shower requires help. Simple routines they've followed for decades aren't simple anymore. That's where Occupational Therapy becomes incredibly important. As a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant with Home Health Care, Inc., you'll help patients rebuild more than function. You'll help them get back to the routines that make their life feel like theirs again.
Make Therapy Personal Every patient has different priorities. One person wants to make their own coffee in the morning. Another wants to shower without their daughter helping. Someone else wants enough coordination to button their own shirt. Those goals may never appear on a highlight reel. But to the person working toward them, they can mean everything. Working from the supervising Occupational Therapist's plan of care, you'll help patients practice the skills they need in the exact environment where they'll use them.
What You'll Do:
Provide one-on-one Occupational Therapy treatments in patients' homes
Carry out treatment plans established by the supervising OT
Address dressing, bathing, grooming, meal preparation, and other ADLs
Improve upper-extremity strength, coordination, and functional use
Provide therapeutic activities and exercises
Reinforce home exercise programs
Teach adaptive and compensatory strategies
Educate patients and caregivers
Reinforce appropriate use of adaptive equipment
Monitor progress and communicate changes to the supervising OT
Collaborate with PT, nursing, SLP, physicians, and interdisciplinary clinicians
Complete timely and accurate documentation
Build a Career Around Work That Feels Personal Home health gives you an opportunity to develop relationships with patients while watching their abilities change over time. You're there for the difficult visits. The small improvements. The breakthroughs. And eventually, the moments when patients realize they can do something again that they couldn't do when you first met. You'll also have the independence to manage a field-based workday while remaining connected to experienced Occupational Therapists and Clinical Managers.
Strong Work. Strong Earning Potential. This position offers $82,000$110,000 in annualized earning potential through a paid-per-visit compensation model. You'll also receive mileage reimbursement between patient visits. For an organized, motivated COTA, home health offers the opportunity to combine meaningful patient care with independence and strong earning potential.
