Job Description

Stellar Senior Living is seeking a compassionate and licensed Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA) to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team, supporting residents in our senior living communities.

In this role, you will work under the direction of a Registered Occupational Therapist to deliver high-quality, person-centered rehabilitative care that promotes independence, safety, and meaningful engagement for residents in independent living, assisted living, and memory care settings.

You will assist with evaluations, implement individualized treatment plans, and provide therapeutic interventions focused on activities of daily living, functional mobility, cognitive support, and adaptive equipment training.

The COTA will document treatments and progress in accordance with regulatory and company standards, communicate effectively with the interdisciplinary care team, and collaborate closely with nursing, caregivers, and families to support holistic care.

You will help ensure residents’ needs are met through timely treatment sessions, accurate charting, and participation in care conferences and discharge planning when appropriate.

This position requires strong clinical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to motivate and encourage older adults with varying physical and cognitive abilities.

You will contribute to staff education on safe resident handling and activity adaptation, help foster a positive, respectful, and inclusive community, and uphold Stellar Senior Living’s culture of dedicated, compassionate service.

This opportunity is ideal for a COTA who values relationship-based care, enjoys working in a collaborative senior living environment, and wants to make a meaningful impact on residents’ quality of life each day while growing professionally within a supportive organization.

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.
