Job Description

If you’re a Occupational Therapist Assistat (OTA) who wants to build meaningful relationships with your patients and see the long-term impact of your care—this is it.

In this setting, you will work with Medicare Part B patients in Assisted Living and Independent Communities, allowing you to follow patient progress over time and focus on improving independence, mobility and quality of life.

Unlike fast-paced short-stay environments, this role allows you to provide purposeful, patient-centered therapy, with consistency and clinical autonomy.

Therapy Management Corporation (TMC) is a trusted therapy provider dedicated to delivering high-quality rehabilitation services while creating environments where clinicians feel supported, valued and empowered. Our mission is simple: Support clinicians so they can deliver exceptional patient care. Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Treat Medicare Part B patients in Assisted Living & Independent Living Communities
  • Flexible scheduling that supports work-life balance
  • Build long-term relationships and track patient progress over time
  • Focus on quality patient care instead of high patient volume
  • Practice with clinical autonomy in a supportive therapy team environment

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate and treat residents in Assisted Living & Independent Living Communities
  • Develop personalized care plans focused on functional independence, safety, and quality of life
  • Deliver care through therapeutic activities, ADL/IDL training, and adaptive techniques
  • Help patients improve their ability to perform daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, grooming, and meal preparation
  • Collaborate with care teams, staff, and caregivers to achieve strong patient outcomes
  • Document patient progress and adjust treatment plans as needed

Qualifications

  • Licensed Occupational Therapist Assistant (OTA) or license eligible in the state of practice
  • Graduate of an accredited Occupational Therapy Program
  • Interest or experience in geriatric rehabilitation or senior living therapy
  • Passion for patient-centered care and improving quality of life for older adults

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Mileage reimbursement
  • Career Advancement and Leadership Development.
