OPEN JOB: Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant LOCATION: Modesto, California BASE SALARY: $74,880 to $99,840
Our client’s PACE (All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program provides seniors with the opportunity to continue living in their homes and in their communities.
The Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA) is a key member of the IDT, collaborating with other members of the Rehabilitation team to implement care plans and providing condition updates to the clinical team.
Under the direction of an Occupational Therapist, the COTA provides restorative and rehabilitative occupational therapy services to participants at the center and in their homes to maximize independence, safety, and performance of ADLs.

Collaborate with other therapists, providers, and disciplines
Have work/life balance - no after hours of documentation
ON THE DAY-TO-DAY, YOU WILL:
Administer participant treatment programs as established by the Occupational Therapist
Assist the Occupational Therapist in obtaining vital signs, ranges of motion, and strength testing
Coordinate with other members of the Rehabilitation team to implement activities and programs based on participants’ individual treatment plans
Handle scheduling of participants’ treatments, clinical visits, and billing
Document occupational therapy interventions in accordance with established care plans including but not limited to the use of devices, techniques, and activities to promote muscle re-education, perceptual-motor and cognitive function, balance, and endurance, and other factors affecting independence in performing ADLs
JOB REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE:
We are seeking COTAs that ideally have outpatient, acute, inpatient, or skilled nursing experience.
