Pros
I've worked for Rehab1 for about a year and a half, and coming from an outpatient and SNF background, it's the best of both worlds. You treat STRICKLY one patient at a time for 4 units each (no double booking, no groups), unless they are appropriate for less. Because they consider 4 units/hr to be 100% productive, if you see a patient for 53 mins, you have the other 7 mins to finish your note/find your next patient, so the productivity standard isn't hard to reach. You get paid your hourly wage to drive between buildings if it's needed. Therapists can be hired for assisted living communities and/or home visits, but mostly ALFs. I had some mental health concerns earlier in the year experiencing PTSD symptoms after losing so many patients to Covid at my last job. I emailed the owner letting him know that I felt it was hindering my performance... He drove to the area I was working in and we met at a coffee shop and sat together talking over coffee for over 2 hours. I can't imagine another owner as committed to his employees' health and job satisfaction, and he is 100% committed to his values of the company. The next time I spoke to the office manager, I was concerned I would get talked to about my symptoms effecting my work, and instead when I answered the call, she started crying thanking me for all I did working with Covid patients during the pandemic. Between that moment and the OWNER driving to me to talk... I can't imagine working anywhere else. I feel so genuinely appreciated here, and as though I am way more than just a therapist.
Cons
High deductible insurance, short unpaid maternity leave
