About MyPlace Health

myPlace Health was founded in 2021 by mission-aligned healthcare leaders and organizations that are committed to drastically improving health outcomes, quality and experience for vulnerable older adults and frail seniors. We specialize in providing value-based, comprehensive care and coverage for older adults with significant needs so they can thrive in the homes they love and in the communities they cherish.

Our mission is simple: to enable older adults to live the independent lives they deserve. We pursue this mission through our myPlace PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model, which provides seamless primary care, integrated health plan coverage, personalized social engagement, and customized services delivered in the participant's preferred place.

myPlace Health is building a mission-driven team that shares our passion for redefining the way older adults experience care as they age in place in the community. This is a unique opportunity to take on one of our country's most challenging healthcare problems and join a fast-growing, dynamic team as we prepare to scale our mission to serve more markets.

About This Role

Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of the aging community by delivering personalized occupational therapy that enhances their independence and well-being? Do you thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with an interdisciplinary team to create and implement individual care plans? Then we would love to have you on our team!

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to deliver personalized occupational therapy to PACE participants in various settings, including our care center, their homes, and even virtually. Your work will make a meaningful impact as you provide occupational therapy that meets each participant's unique needs, whether they require acute care, restorative support, or ongoing maintenance.

As a valued member of the interdisciplinary team (IDT), you'll collaborate closely to create and implement individualized care plans that truly make a difference in the lives of our participants. Partnering with our dedicated Physical Therapist, you'll also play a key role in ensuring the smooth operation of the rehabilitation department at our PACE center.

We're excited to welcome a passionate team player like you who is committed to enhancing the well-being and independence of the elderly adults we serve.
