Home Health COTA | One-on-One Patient Rehabilitation

Home Health Care • Saint Paul, MN

65d • Remote

About The Position

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.
