You will serve a diverse adult and geriatric population, including individuals transitioning from hospital or rehab settings, those managing chronic conditions, and patients aiming to safely age in place. The typical caseload includes functional decline, fall risk, post-surgical recovery, neurologic conditions, and cardiopulmonary diagnoses, offering substantial variety and opportunities to deepen your clinical expertise. In this role, you will perform comprehensive evaluations in patients’ homes, focusing on safety, function, and independence. A typical day may include conducting home safety and environmental assessments, identifying fall risks, and recommending modifications such as grab bars, adaptive equipment, and layout changes to promote safe mobility and performance of daily tasks. You will develop and implement individualized plans of care that emphasize ADL and IADL training, energy conservation, cognitive strategies, and caregiver education tailored to each patient’s goals and living environment.

Patient volume and visit frequency are structured to allow time for individualized, high-quality interventions. Visit schedules typically include a mix of start-of-care evaluations, routine follow-ups, reassessments, and discharges. The number of visits per day will depend on patient needs, acuity, and travel distances within the Dover area, with careful planning to optimize route efficiency and minimize windshield time. You can expect regular daytime hours with some flexibility in scheduling to accommodate patient availability, with opportunities for occasional evenings or weekends as required for continuity of care. This position offers the chance to work with patients in a variety of home settings, from historic residences in central Dover to newer suburban developments and rural properties in the surrounding area.

As you help patients remain in their homes safely, your work will have a direct and visible impact on their quality of life and on caregivers’ confidence and capacity. The professional culture emphasizes collaboration, clinical excellence, and ongoing learning. You will be supported in keeping your skills current through access to continuing education, mentorship from experienced clinicians, and exposure to a diverse caseload that can strengthen your clinical judgment and broaden your experience. The role is well-suited for Occupational Therapists who value autonomy, community-based practice, and meaningful patient relationships, while enjoying life in a city that blends historic charm with modern conveniences and easy access to outdoor recreation.
