Job description

Director of Rehabilitation

Lead a clinical program that is part of the community—not apart from it.

Northern California | Folsom & Elk Grove

What if rehabilitation wasn't something residents had to leave their community to receive?

At Prava, we believe therapy should be embedded in the life of senior living—connected to wellness, mobility, independence and the things residents want to continue doing.

We are seeking a Director of Rehabilitation to lead and grow a comprehensive rehabilitation program within a premier Tenfold Senior Living community in Northern California.

This is an opportunity for a clinician who wants to do more than manage a caseload.

You will lead the clinical environment.

You will build a strong team, establish clinical standards, partner with community leadership and create a rehabilitation program that residents, families and operators recognize as an essential part of the community.

What You’ll Lead

As Director of Rehabilitation, you will be responsible for the day-to-day clinical and operational leadership of the rehabilitation program.

Clinical Leadership

• Provide direct physical, occupational and/or speech therapy as appropriate to your discipline.
• Establish a culture of strong clinical reasoning, evidence-based practice and resident-centered care.
• Review documentation and clinical performance.
• Support clinicians with complex cases and clinical decision-making.
• Ensure evaluations, plans of care, progress reports and discharge planning reflect the resident's actual goals and needs.
• Promote appropriate utilization and high-quality outcomes.

Team Leadership

• Recruit, onboard and develop rehabilitation clinicians.
• Create accountability around productivity, documentation, scheduling and clinical quality.
• Mentor therapists and assistants.
• Establish a collaborative environment where clinicians can grow.
• Lead regular clinical and operational meetings.

Community Partnership

• Develop strong relationships with executive directors, wellness leadership, nursing and resident services.
• Participate in community meetings and identify residents who may benefit from therapy.
• Build appropriate referral pathways.
• Partner with the community's wellness and fitness programming.
• Help position rehabilitation as part of the resident's broader lifestyle and independence—not simply a service delivered after a decline.

Program Growth

• Monitor census, referrals, evaluations, visits and clinical utilization.
• Identify opportunities to expand appropriate services.
• Help develop new service lines as community needs evolve.
• Use Prava's reporting and technology to understand what is happening inside the practice and where intervention is needed.

This Isn’t a Traditional Rehab Department

We aren't looking for someone who simply wants to manage a schedule.

Tenfold's model places significant emphasis on wellness, mobility, autonomy and helping residents remain engaged in their community.

That's exactly where we believe rehabilitation belongs.

You might work with a resident after a fall—but your responsibility doesn't end with getting them through a course of treatment.

The bigger question is:

What does this resident want to keep doing?

• Walking to dinner.
• Getting to fitness class.
• Participating in activities.
• Going out with friends.
• Moving safely around their apartment.
• Maintaining independence.

Your job is to help build a rehabilitation program that supports those outcomes.

Prava Provides the Infrastructure

You will have the support of Prava's clinical and operational platform, including:

• EHR and practice management technology
• AI-enabled documentation tools
• Revenue cycle management
• Credentialing and payer support
• Recruiting infrastructure
• Marketing and referral support
• Clinical leadership and coaching
• Reporting and business intelligence
• Operational support

You lead the program. Prava powers the infrastructure behind it.

Who We’re Looking For

You may be a great fit if you are:

• A licensed rehabilitation clinician in California
• An experienced PT, OT or SLP with demonstrated leadership ability
• Comfortable leading clinicians while maintaining your own clinical practice
• A strong clinical thinker who cares about quality—not just completed visits
• A relationship builder who works naturally with senior living leadership
• Interested in mentoring and developing other clinicians
• Organized, accountable and comfortable using data to manage performance
• Excited by the opportunity to build something rather than simply inherit a department

Senior living experience is valuable, but leadership ability, clinical judgment and the desire to build a great program matter just as much.

Why Prava?

Prava is changing the way clinical care operates in senior living.

We combine clinical leadership, technology, revenue cycle management, credentialing, recruiting and operational infrastructure so clinicians can focus on what they do best:

Lead great care.

You’ll have the autonomy to lead your rehabilitation program while knowing you have a larger organization behind you.

The Opportunity

If you’re ready to move beyond managing a rehab department and want to build a clinical program that actually becomes part of the community, we’d like to meet you.

Lead the team.

Build the program.

Elevate the clinical environment.

Prava powers the infrastructure.
