Director of Rehab (PT/OT/SLP)- Lodi (95240)

This is a great time to join us. As we continue to grow aggressively, we are adding new positions almost daily, which leads directly to where you will fit in…

Through a multidisciplinary approach, Arbor Nursing Center helps residents in regaining functional ability. Our Homeward Bound programs help our patients return to their homes or to their maximum independence level. Homeward Bound rehabilitation programs include:
• Cardiac Recovery
• Continence Improvement Program
• Contracture Management

• Transitional Living Unit

Exceptional service and quality are the essence of our business. Naturally, our management plays a critical role in ensuring that we continue to exceed our quality goals. As a member of our management team, you’ll be working alongside some of the best and brightest management in the industry. We have a long history of employing a strong and energetic management team, and we boast some of the lowest turnover rates.

Uncommon in a company of our size, we are extremely receptive and responsive to new ideas, and this position offers the opportunity to ensure continuing excellence for an already successful and well-recognized healthcare provider. It will challenge your independent initiative and clinical skills as much as your creativity and organizational management abilities.

The Nuts & Bolts of the Job

Reporting to the Regional Manager, your responsibilities here will be broad in range; however, we’ve identified four major areas of focus:

Staff management and development

You will be responsible for the direct supervision and guidance of all the therapy personnel in your assigned facility(s), including licensed, registered, certified therapists, assistants, aides and students. This will include:
Approving time cards.
Ensuring that your team completes all clinical documentation accurately and in a timely manner.
Conducting performance reviews.
Organizing orientation for new team members.
Mentoring your team and, where applicable, grooming them for advancement.

Operational

This is a “hands-on” management role, and you will spend a portion of your time partnering with your therapy team and treating residents. In addition, you will:
Schedule the department staff to meet the needs of the facility on a daily basis.
Complete billing documentation.
Coordinate claims management activities.
Participate in professional association committees, and in facility and company meetings.
Partner with the Regional Manager to formulate monthly, quarterly and annual budgetary goals.

Quality Monitoring

As perhaps the most critical area of focus, you will ensure that that the services delivered by your team are of the highest quality and meets all standards of practice. In addition, you will ensure that the:

Department follows the established policies and procedures of the facility and the company.
Rehabilitation needs of the residents are met.
Regulatory standards are adherence to as they pertain to the delivery of rehabilitation services.

Program development and enhancement

We place a strong emphasis on continual improvement, and you will perform periodic reviews of the therapy services offered and develop new services and programs to meet the needs of our changing environment. At a more strategic level, you will network and develop relationships outside of your facility (i.e. with the local hospitals and referral sites).

Required experience and qualifications:

Graduate of an approved curriculum in Physical or Occupational Therapy

Ability to practice unencumbered.

In good standing with all regulatory agencies and licensing boards

Possesses a minimum of three (3) years clinical experience as a therapist

Working knowledge of Medicare and other payer sources
