Since 2008, Lifespan Therapy has connected qualified clinicians with homebound geriatric patients across California, having served over 100,000 individuals through our app‑based network. We're looking for experienced home health OTs or those looking to transition from outpatient or SNF settings. Join us and help patients achieve independence in their own homes with unparalleled flexibility.

Why Choose Lifespan Therapy?

Workflow Simplified: Our all-in-one clinician app takes care of credentials, patient management, scheduling, and invoicing, empowering you to work on your terms.

Patient‑Focused Practice: With us handling referrals, authorizations, and billing, you're free to focus on what matters most: helping patients achieve independence.

Easy EMR System: TherapySync, our single EMR system, provides a seamless and compliant platform for all your documentation needs.

Expert Support: Receive consultative services to ensure your documentation meets all professional and ethical standards.

What You'll Do

• Perform in‑home assessments to address activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental ADLs, and home safety.
• Create personalized treatment plans focusing on energy conservation, use of adaptive equipment, and functional strengthening for daily tasks.
• Schedule and conduct patient home visits based on your preferred caseload and availability.
• Work with a supportive team to ensure a holistic approach to each patient's plan of care.

What You'll Need

• Valid California Occupational Therapist license
• CPR or BLS certification
• Driver's license and auto insurance
• Physical + TB test (within the last year)
• Professional liability and business license (if applicable)

Where You'll Be Working

Join our team as a clinician serving the creative and cultural heart of Los Angeles, spanning from the trendy streets of Hollywood and Silverlake to the historically rich neighborhoods of the Eastside.

This role offers geographic flexibility, allowing you to focus on your preferred neighborhoods within this region or even serve adjacent areas that best fit your lifestyle.

The Vibe: Experience a fast-paced, urban environment where you can grab a "celebrity-spotting" coffee in Echo Park or enjoy some of the city's best authentic Mexican food on the Eastside.

The Community: You will be part of a dynamic, diverse community with deep roots. Because of the region's demographics, Spanish proficiency is a major asset, though not required.

The Excitement: While you should be prepared for typical LA traffic, the area's unique character, endless entertainment, and vibrant street life make every day rewarding.

We work with you to ensure your routes are as efficient as possible while you navigate the city's most iconic neighborhoods.

Looking for someone covering any part of: Echo Park, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Silverlake, West Hollywood, Belvedere Gardens, Wyvernwood, Lincoln Heights, Omaha Heights, Pico Gardens.
