You may work in settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, or skilled nursing facilities, frequently collaborating with families, nursing staff, and other healthcare professionals to ensure continuity of care. Responsibilities also include timely documentation, progress tracking, and coordinating follow-up services as needed. This role can offer increased independence and scheduling flexibility, and success often depends on strong communication and effective case management skills.
