You celebrate ordinary progress, recognizing that even a few steps can be an extraordinary milestone. While you focus on your patient’s extraordinary achievements, we provide the resources that amplify your impact and help you grow your expertise. Your experience, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and personality all contribute to the quality of care you deliver. We look forward to learning what you bring to this critical rehabilitation role.

• Monitor and engage with patients, families, and appropriate care team members for teaching opportunities, patient condition changes, or concerns.

• Assist others without being asked and provide guidance to new and experienced personnel, including oversight for ancillary personnel.
• Reassess and revise goals and treatment plans as indicated by the patient’s status, program requirements, and CMS rules and regulations.
• Evaluate patient progress toward expected outcomes and document results of subsequent assessments, evaluations of treatment, and interventions.
• Maintain appropriate data and contribute to departmental quality management activities, providing recommendations for systematic and programmatic improvements based on data results.
