What You'll Be Doing

As our Occupational Therapist, you'll bring therapy directly to patients where they live—their homes and communities.

You’ll:

• Evaluate patients and create personalized treatment plans
• Set meaningful short- and long-term therapy goals
• Provide therapy in real-life home environments
• Work with patients, families, caregivers, and the care team
• Recommend or create adaptive equipment when needed

We're looking for an OT who is:

• Licensed as an Occupational Therapist in Ohio
• A graduate of an accredited OT program (MS/OTD or qualifying BS/equivalent experience)
• Current with required certifications, including CPR
• A strong communicator and team player
• Comfortable working independently
• Organized and dependable
• Compassionate, patient, and adaptable
• Comfortable working with patients with physical, emotional, or cognitive challenges
• Willing to travel for home visits

What Makes Home Health Different?

Forget spending your entire day in the same four walls.

As a home-health OT, your patients' homes become your therapy room.

One visit might involve helping someone safely navigate their kitchen. Another might mean working on dressing, mobility, adaptive equipment, or everyday activities that help a patient live more independently.

You're not just treating a diagnosis—you’re helping people function in the place where life actually happens.

You Bring the Skills. We’ll Support the Mission.

You’ll have the opportunity to work independently while still having support from the therapy team and leadership.

We value:

Professionalism. Compassion. Independence. Teamwork. Patient-centered care.

If you're an OT who wants your work to make a real difference in people's everyday lives, we'd love to hear from you.
