Occupational Therapist - Home Health
Riverside Home Health & Hospice
Southern Oregon | Medford & Grants Pass
Full-Time | Part-Time | PRN
$50-$55/hour
Help Patients Get Back to Living Life
Occupational therapy in home health is different.
Instead of treating patients in a clinic, you meet them where life actually happens - in their homes, their routines, and their daily environments. This allows you to help people regain independence in the moments that matter most.
At Riverside Home Health & Hospice, our Occupational Therapists help patients rebuild the skills that allow them to live safely, confidently, and independently at home.
If you are an Occupational Therapist who enjoys autonomy, creative problem-solving, and meaningful patient relationships, you may have found the place where your work makes the greatest impact.
Why This Role Matters
Our Occupational Therapists help patients regain independence after illness, injury, or hospitalization.
In this role you will:
• Evaluate patient functional abilities and daily living skills
• Develop individualized treatment plans to improve independence
• Teach patients adaptive strategies and new ways to complete daily activities
• Identify home safety risks and recommend modifications or equipment
• Educate patients and caregivers on safe mobility and self-care
• Collaborate with physicians, nurses, and therapy team members
Your work helps patients remain safely in their homes and return to the activities that give life meaning.
Who Thrives in This Role
Our ideal Occupational Therapist:
• Enjoys one-on-one patient care
• Is creative and solution-oriented
• Thinks critically about functional independence
• Communicates well with patients, families, and care teams
• Works confidently in an independent field-based role
• Believes therapy is about improving real-life function, not just completing exercises
Home health experience is helpful, but many therapists find it becomes their favorite way to practice once they experience the flexibility and patient relationships.
