Avalon View Health & Wellness is a busy 140-bed skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation facility with beautiful rehabilitation space including a spacious gym, functional ADL spaces, and proximity to our skilled wing. We are getting ready for a big renovation of the therapy spaces in the next year.  Our facility campus contains a locked memory unit, a skilled rehab to home wing, and a large long-term care population. We have a compassionate and dedicated nursing team who collaborates with therapy and a fun, high-energy in-house therapy team with veteran therapists who are dedicated to our residents and patients and improving their quality of life. Our facility administrator is very supportive, dynamic and always available to assist the therapy team and provide resources to improve the quality of care.  We see a wide variety of orthopedic and neurological diagnoses and both short-term rehab patients as well as long-term care residents.  We offer modalities through ACP and have purchased the CEU program so you will have access to paid CEU's.  

Our portfolio of skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation facilities in the Kansas City and Buchanon County regions is under new ownership and leadership.  We are in the process of making positive changes including building in-house therapy teams and therapy programs, honoring competitive compensation and benefits for our amazing staff, improving the physical plnat of our facilities where needed, and working hard to become the providers of choice in our community.  Join us and help us drive positive change for our patients and residents!

We are looking for a full-time Occupational Therapist to join our dedicated staff.  We seek an OT who is a self-motivated healthcare professional with a passion for thinking out of the box, developing patient-centered clinical programming,  and providing outstanding care to meet the diverse needs of our patients. 

Are you thinking that Skilled Nursing is not for you?  Consider this:  we see the same disorders as seen in a hospital setting – only we get way more time with our patients to help them meet their goals and maximize their potential.
