You will assess patients' conditions, develop personalized treatment plans, and implement therapeutic interventions aimed at improving their independence and quality of life.
Your role will involve working closely with patients, families, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care and support. You will evaluate patients' abilities and limitations through observation, interviews, and standardized assessments. Based on your evaluations, you will design individualized therapy programs that include exercises, activities, and adaptive equipment to help patients achieve their goals.
You will also educate patients and their families about the therapeutic process, providing guidance on how to continue therapy at home and adapt their environment to support recovery and independence. Collaboration with other healthcare providers, such as physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and social workers, will be essential to ensure coordinated and effective patient care.
In addition to direct patient care, you will be responsible for maintaining accurate and detailed patient records, documenting progress, and adjusting treatment plans as necessary.

We offer a supportive and collaborative work environment, opportunities for professional growth, and the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and their families. If you are passionate about helping individuals regain their independence and improve their quality of life, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding position.
Occupational Therapists play a vital role in healthcare, assisting individuals who have experienced injuries, illnesses, or disabilities to regain the skills necessary for daily living and working.
