Help Someone Get Back to the Things They Used to Do Without Thinking. Taking a shower. Making breakfast. Getting dressed. Moving safely around the house. Doing a load of laundry. They're ordinary parts of life until suddenly they're not. As a Home Health COTA , you'll help patients rebuild the skills and confidence to do more for themselves after a hospitalization, surgery, illness, injury, or functional decline. And you'll do it with $82,000-$110,000 earning potential, a Monday-Friday schedule, Full-Time or Part-Time options, territory-based scheduling, mileage reimbursement, and the variety of working with patients throughout the community. Make Everyday Life the Goal of Therapy Occupational Therapy is uniquely suited for home health because the goals you're working toward are happening all around you. If your patient wants to shower independently, the bathroom is right there. If they're struggling to prepare meals, you can see their kitchen setup. If getting dressed has become frustrating, you can work through their actual morning routine and identify what needs to change. You're helping patients do more than perform an exercise correctly. You're helping them get pieces of their normal life back. Why COTAs Choose Home Health $82,000-$110,000 annual earning potential Monday-Friday schedule Full-Time and Part-Time opportunities One-on-one patient visits Consistent patient volume Territory-based scheduling Independence throughout your workday Mileage reimbursement between visits Cell phone reimbursement each paycheck Free access to our Education Hub for continuing education Licensure reimbursement $250 annual scrub reimbursement Medical and dental insurance Life, short-term disability, and long-term disability coverage PTO and sick time 401(k) with employer match Experienced OTR/L and interdisciplinary support Small Improvements Can Be Big Wins Under the direction of an OTR/L, you'll carry out treatment plans designed around each patient's functional goals. Maybe you're helping someone safely transfer into the shower for the first time since coming home. Maybe you're working on coordination so they can button their own shirt again. Maybe you're teaching an adaptive technique that means they no longer need their spouse to help with a daily task. That's the kind of progress you get to be part of. What You'll Do Provide occupational therapy treatments in patient homes under the direction of an OTR/L Carry out individualized treatment plans and interventions Help patients improve ADLs and functional independence Address strength, coordination, mobility, and functional skills Reinforce adaptive techniques and compensatory strategies Provide adaptive equipment and home-safety education Educate patients, families, and caregivers Monitor patient response and communicate progress to the supervising OT Complete accurate and timely EMR documentation Collaborate with nurses, therapists, physicians, and other members of the care team Bring Your COTA Experience With You You don't need to start your career over to move into home health. We're interested in COTAs coming from Skilled Nursing, Inpatient Rehabilitation, Outpatient Therapy, Transitional Care, Senior Living, Long-Term Care, Hospital-Based Rehabilitation, Geriatrics, and Home Health . If you know how to motivate patients, implement an OT plan of care, recognize changes, manage a productive caseload, educate families, and communicate effectively with an OTR/L, those skills can translate extremely well. What We're Looking For Graduate of an accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant program Active Minnesota COTA license Valid driver's license and reliable transportation Strong patient communication and education skills Ability to effectively manage a productive territory-based caseload Strong organization and time-management skills Ability to collaborate closely with a supervising OTR/L Commitment to helping patients maximize independence and quality of life Go Home Knowing What Your Work Helped Someone Do The impact of a great therapy visit isn't always measured by something dramatic. Sometimes it's a patient needing less help getting dressed. Walking into their bathroom with more confidence. Preparing their own lunch. Completing a morning routine they couldn't manage two weeks earlier. Those wins matter because independence matters . If you're a COTA who wants $82,000-$110,000 earning potential, Monday-Friday scheduling, a productive caseload, variety throughout your workday, and the chance to make therapy immediately relevant to someone's everyday life , we'd like to meet you.
