About the role
The Occupational Therapist provides clinical occupational therapy evaluation and treatment across acute, restorative, and maintenance levels of care for PACE participants, developing individualized treatment plans, conducting home visits as needed, and instructing participants, caregivers, and staff on maximizing safety and functional independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), exercise programs, and DME use. As a core member of the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), this role contributes clinical assessments and care coordination in a collaborative spirit that informs whole-person care planning, while maintaining documentation that meets all regulatory requirements. Beyond direct care, the Occupational Therapist serves as a subject matter expert for occupational therapy program standardization, team education, and quality audits, supports DME inventory management, and upholds safety and infection control standards — all while contributing to a center culture grounded in Habitat's values and participant belonging.
