Occupational Therapist

WelbeHealth•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

At WelbeHealth, each participant of our program is guided by our interdisciplinary team (IDT) - composed of clinical and non-clinical members who work cohesively to provide quality patient-centered care. The Occupational Therapist coordinates and provides restorative and rehabilitative occupational therapy services, working closely with the PACE Physician, rehabilitation staff, and other IDT members to maximize participant independence and safety, as well as enhance performance of ADLs. This role is different because Occupational Therapists at WelbeHealth have lower patient volumes, form long-term relationships with participants, collaborate with other therapists, providers, and disciplines, and have work/life balance with no after-hours documentation.
