Full-Time • 30-35 hrs/week • Secure Inpatient Rehab | Unique Skilled-Nursing Environment
Why This Role Stands Out
Unique, Secure Setting - Deliver skilled-nursing-level rehab inside a protected campus that feels safer and more predictable than many home-health or community sites.
No Insurance Red Tape - Forget visit caps and prior-auth headaches; your clinical judgment-not paperwork-guides every plan of care.
Autonomy + Teamwork - Provide true 1:1 care while collaborating closely with an on-site OT and a supportive interdisciplinary team.
Strong Compensation & Benefits - Competitive pay, full benefits, CEU support, and the resources you need to thrive.
Meaningful Impact - Help older adults regain independence, master ADLs, and enjoy a higher quality of life during their stay.

Maintain a safe, therapeutic environment by following security and infection-control protocols and ensuring equipment is in top condition.
Communicate progress and changes promptly to the OT and wider care team to keep treatment plans current and effective.
Qualifications:
