We are a premier 153-bed skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation facility proudly featuring the largest rehabilitation gym in the Bay Area.

• Evaluations & Treatments: Perform comprehensive evaluations and deliver evidence-based occupational therapy interventions.

• Caseload Management: Oversee a diverse clinical caseload including Orthopedic, Neurological, Cardiac, and Vascular rehabilitation.

• Documentation Excellence: Ensure timely and precise completion of evaluations, daily notes, and recertifications across the department.

• Discharge Planning: Coordinate durable medical equipment (DME) ordering and provide family/caregiver training to ensure safe discharges.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: Graduate of an accredited Occupational Therapy program.

• Licensure: Active and unencumbered Occupational Therapist (OTR) license issued by the California Board of Occupational Therapy.

• Experience: Minimum of 2–3 years of clinical experience in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) or post-acute care setting preferred. Previous leadership or mentoring experience is highly valued.
