About This Role
You'll provide occupational therapy services to patients in their homes throughout the Orlando, Kentucky area, helping them regain independence and improve their daily functioning after illness or injury. Your days will involve conducting assessments, developing treatment plans, and working one-on-one with patients to build strength, mobility, and adaptive skills for activities like bathing, dressing, and cooking. You'll coordinate with the broader home health team and maintain detailed documentation of patient progress. This role suits therapists who genuinely enjoy working in patients' personal environments, value flexibility, and want to see direct results from their interventions. You should be comfortable managing your own schedule with some travel between home visits and able to build strong rapport with diverse patient populations.

Frequently asked questions
What license do I need to apply?
An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.
Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
