VitalCaring – Deliver Care That Restores Independence

 

At VitalCaring, we don’t just provide care - we help patients regain independence and confidence in the place they call home. As a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA), you play a vital role in helping patients rebuild the skills they need for daily living following illness or injury.

 

This is a role for a COTA who thrives in a field-based, one-on-one care environment and is passionate about making a measurable impact in patients’ lives.

 

Why Join VitalCaring?

• Meaningful, one-on-one patient care in the home setting
• Autonomy with support – manage your day with guidance from an experienced OT team
• Real impact on functional outcomes and quality of life
• Collaborative care model with nurses, therapists, and leadership

 

What You’ll Do

Work under the direction of a Licensed Occupational Therapist to deliver personalized, goal-driven care:

• Implement treatment plans to improve patients’ ability to perform daily activities
• Provide hands-on therapy focused on strength, coordination, mobility, and self-care
• Retrain patients in ADLs (dressing, bathing, meal prep, etc.)
• Assess and report on patient progress, function, and home safety needs
• Educate patients and caregivers on techniques, exercises, and safety strategies
• Identify changes in condition and communicate proactively with the OT and care team
• Complete timely, accurate documentation in the EMR
• Support a safe, effective, and coordinated plan of care

 

What We’re Looking For

• Graduate of an accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant program
• Active COTA license/certification in the state of practice
• Home Health experience strongly preferred
• Current CPR certification
• Ability to work independently in a field-based environment
• Strong clinical observation, communication, and time management skills
• Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and auto insurance

 

What Sets You Apart

• Confidence identifying and escalating changes in patient condition
• A balance of clinical skill and compassionate care
