The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant's responsibilities include following the Occupational Therapist's plan of care, confirming appointments with clients, driving to clients’ homes (average of 6 per day) to administer treatments developed by the occupational therapist, and daily reporting on progress with each client served. To be successful as an occupational therapy assistant for home care you should be organized, compassionate, ethical, be an experienced driver and own your own car, and enjoy working with patients in their own homes. An excellent occupational therapy assistant should maintain a positive attitude and be able to provide the highest degree of quality care to our patients.
We provide training in the field, supervision when you need it while also preserving your autonomy. We assist you with scheduling patients, provide you with opportunities to meet the other therapists on our team, and we wholeheartedly support your work-life balance. That's why we won't schedule you for any evenings or weekends and allow you to set the times of your appointments during the day according to what you need on any given day. You leave from your own home in the morning and go straight to your first patient. After your last patient visit is over, you are free to go home, whatever time that is. This is the beauty of Home Care!
