By working collaboratively with partners and continually innovating, JVH strives to be a leader in providing essential healthcare for the underserved, ensuring everyone in our community has access to quality healthcare.

Job Summary:

The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) provides occupational therapy interventions to PACE participants at Jordan Valley Senior Care (JVSC) under the direction and supervision of a licensed Occupational Therapist (OT), consistent with the participant's individualized plan of care developed and approved by the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT). The COTA helps participants build, restore, and maintain the skills needed for daily living so they can remain safely and independently in the community, supporting JVSC's core mission. Services are delivered at the PACE center, in participants' homes, and in contracted facility settings as directed.

Key Responsibilities:

Implements occupational therapy treatment interventions established in the plan of care under the direction of the supervising OT, including but not limited to activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) retraining, therapeutic activity, fine motor and upper extremity function, and cognitive-functional tasks.
Trains participants in the safe and effective use of adaptive equipment, durable medical equipment, and home modifications recommended by the OT to support independence and reduce fall or injury risk.
Monitors and records participant response to treatment, including functional performance, tolerance, and any new or worsening symptoms, and reports significant changes to the supervising OT promptly.
Educates participants, family members, and caregivers in techniques, home programs, energy conservation, joint protection, and safety strategies to support function between visits.
Assists with home safety assessments and recommends environmental modifications to the supervising OT based on observations during home visits.
Recommends adjustments to treatment activities to the supervising OT based on observed participant response; does not independently alter the plan of care or perform formal evaluations. Works only within their scope of practice.
Supports participants with cognitive, perceptual, or behavioral changes using approved therapeutic and compensatory strategies developed by the OT and IDT.
Participates in discharge planning and transition of care activities, including communication with home care, transportation, and contracted facility staff.
Completes timely, accurate documentation of each treatment session, including objective measures of progress toward IDT-established goals, for clinical and billing purposes.
May assist the OT in management of DME, adaptive equipment, personal response systems, and other items as recommended by the supervising OT.
Other job duties as assigned.
