We are seeking an Occupational Therapist, sometimes referred to as a Registered Occupational Therapist (OTR) or Occupational Therapist, Registered/Licensed (OTR/L).
The Occupational Therapist (OT) will evaluate and treat patients with physical, cognitive, or psychosocial impairments to restore their ability to perform essential activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, grooming, and eating.
Utilizing customized interventions, adaptive equipment, and environmental modifications, they facilitate patient independence, support functional recovery, and contribute to discharge planning within the interdisciplinary care team.

Train in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): guide patients in regaining the ability to perform basic ADLs such as bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, toileting, and transferring (e. g., from bed to chair)
Recommend Adaptive Equipment: introduce and train patients to use tools that compensate for functional limitations
