About The Position

Prava Therapy is seeking a Clinic Director to lead its therapy program at The Kensington Sierra Madre, an enhanced assisted living and memory care community in Sierra Madre, California. The role combines an active clinical practice with day-to-day leadership of the therapy program. The director will mentor and support clinicians, build relationships across the community, and help make therapy an integrated part of residents’ daily lives and care. The program serves residents with varied needs, including mobility limitations, falls, neurologic conditions, orthopedic recovery, cognitive impairment, dementia, and changes in functional status. Care is resident-centered and focused on meaningful daily function, participation, independence, dignity, and quality of life. The director will collaborate with residents, families, community leadership, nursing, caregivers, wellness, and life enrichment, and will help identify residents who may benefit from therapy. Prava provides technology, clinical standards, AI-enabled documentation, operational infrastructure, billing and revenue-cycle support, credentialing, and leadership resources. The director is expected to lead and strengthen the program using this support, rather than build its infrastructure from scratch.
