Frequently asked questions
Colorado Springs has a growing need for home health occupational therapists due to its expanding senior population and healthcare initiatives. Compared to larger metro areas, competition is moderate, with steady job openings especially in home-based care settings, making it an attractive location for OTs seeking community-centered roles.
Occupational therapists in Colorado Springs must hold a valid Colorado OT license and adhere to state regulations, including continuing education credits. While national certifications like NBCOT are standard, local knowledge of Medicaid and Medicare home health policies can be a strong advantage for practice within this region’s healthcare system.
Mastering patient assessment in home environments, adaptive equipment training, and motor skill rehabilitation are essential for home health OTs. Strong communication to educate families and interdisciplinary collaboration ensures effective care plans tailored to each patient’s functional independence needs.
Home health OTs can progress into clinical leadership, specializing in pediatrics or geriatrics, or transition into administrative roles like branch director. Additional certifications and experience in Medicare home health services often open doors to consultant positions or regional therapy management.
Expect a flexible schedule balancing patient visits across various home settings, often with travel within Colorado Springs. Days may involve detailed documentation, coordinating with healthcare teams, and adapting therapy techniques to diverse living environments, requiring both clinical expertise and autonomy.
Encompass Health invests in continuous education, offering scholarships and access to cutting-edge technology to enhance clinical practice. Their culture fosters innovation and teamwork, providing OTs with mentorship and resources to stay current with occupational therapy trends and certifications.
Encompass Health provides up to 30 paid days off annually, including holidays, promoting a healthy work-life balance. Combined with flexible schedules and comprehensive insurance plans, OTs enjoy a supportive environment that prioritizes personal well-being alongside professional growth.

Home health OTs deliver personalized care within patients’ residences, focusing on functional independence in real-life environments. In contrast, outpatient roles often involve clinic-based therapy with scheduled appointments. Encompass Health’s home health positions emphasize adaptability and patient-centered interventions across diverse home settings.
While at least one year of occupational therapy experience is preferred, Encompass Health values prior Medicare home health exposure. Candidates with regional director approval may be considered with less experience if they demonstrate strong clinical skills and familiarity with home health care protocols.
