The daily routine involves home visits tailored to desert living conditions, which differs from colder regions where mobility issues might dominate. This local context shapes therapy plans and patient education.
Besides the mandatory state license, certifications like CPR/BLS are essential in Arizona. Additional credentials in geriatric or pediatric occupational therapy can enhance job prospects, especially in Phoenix’s growing home health market, reflecting the community’s demographic and regulatory expectations.
