Kirkland’s picturesque waterfront, thriving downtown, and extensive network of parks and trails offer an exceptional quality of life. Residents and visitors enjoy boutique shopping, restaurants, coffeehouses, and seasonal events along Lake Washington, as well as convenient access to outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and water sports.

You will travel to patient homes throughout Kirkland and nearby communities, using your clinical skills to help individuals regain independence and safely perform everyday activities in their own environment. This setting offers a meaningful opportunity to see the direct impact of your interventions on a patient’s daily life, with a focus on functional outcomes, safety, and quality of life. Typical responsibilities include conducting comprehensive occupational therapy evaluations in the home, identifying functional limitations and environmental barriers, and developing individualized treatment plans. You will implement interventions such as ADL training, energy conservation techniques, balance and coordination exercises, home safety modifications, and equipment recommendations. You will provide patient and caregiver education, coordinate services with nursing, physical therapy, speech therapy, home health aides, and medical social work, and contribute to overall interdisciplinary care planning to support safe transitions and reduce rehospitalization risk. Your day-to-day work will involve managing a field-based caseload, traveling between homes, completing timely EMR documentation, and communicating with the broader care team.
