Assess and evaluate therapeutic, rehabilitative, and functional status; participate in developing the total plan of care. Evaluate the home environment to support patient safety and comfort.

Communication & Documentation Prepare and submit clinical notes, progress summaries, and discharge summaries per organizational policy. Participate in patient discharge planning to ensure smooth care transitions. Communicate effectively with physicians, caregivers, and interdisciplinary team members. Participate in interdisciplinary group (IDG) meetings to support coordinated hospice care. Additional Responsibilities Provide in-service education for nursing and organizational personnel as needed.

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.
