Occupational Therapist

About the role

myPlace Health is built around a simple but powerful belief: older adults deserve the support they need to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own communities. As a PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) organization backed by SCAN Group, myPlace Health brings together customized medical care, social activities, and daily support for participants and their families—all under one roof. Our centers are vibrant community hubs where participants are known by name, valued, and supported as whole people.

In this role, you'll deliver personalized occupational therapy to PACE participants in various settings, including our care center, their homes, and virtually. You'll collaborate with an interdisciplinary team (IDT) to create and implement individualized care plans, ensuring each participant's unique needs—whether acute care, restorative support, or ongoing maintenance—are met. As part of the rehabilitation department, you'll partner with our Physical Therapist to enhance the well-being and independence of the elderly adults we serve.

• Collaborate with the IDT by completing assessments, care planning, and reviewing service requests to ensure optimal participant outcomes.

• Support overall growth by contributing to additional duties and responsibilities as needed.
