Skilled Nursing, Long-Term Care and Subacute Rehabilitation

Elderwood at Hamburg is seeking a licensed Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist to lead rehabilitation services within our 166-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for an experienced therapy professional who wants to influence clinical quality, team performance, resident outcomes and the continued strength of a comprehensive rehabilitation program—without stepping away from patient care entirely.

As Director of Rehabilitation Services, you will lead physical, occupational and speech therapy operations while maintaining a clinical caseload at a minimum of 35% productivity. You will have visibility across the entire resident journey, from evaluation and care planning through treatment, progress, reimbursement and discharge.

Elderwood at Hamburg serves both short-term rehabilitation patients and long-term care residents. Our therapy team supports individuals recovering from surgery, illness and injury through personalized orthopedic, cardiac and post-surgical rehabilitation.

The community offers:

• Physical, occupational and speech therapy
• Orthopedic, cardiac and post-surgical rehabilitation
• A bright, spacious rehabilitation gym with modern equipment
• Long-term care therapy
• Skilled nursing and memory care
• An interdisciplinary approach connecting therapy, nursing, medical providers and facility leadership

This variety gives the Director an opportunity to lead across different diagnoses, functional goals, payer requirements and lengths of stay while helping residents regain independence and maintain the highest practicable level of function.

This role is well suited for a rehab manager ready for broader operational responsibility—or an experienced Director who wants to lead a substantial program while remaining connected to clinical care.

You will work directly with the Administrator and collaborate with nursing, finance, medical records and other facility leaders. Your decisions will influence resident outcomes, employee development, regulatory performance, reimbursement, customer experience and the long-term success of rehabilitation services at Elderwood at Hamburg.

Located in Hamburg, Elderwood offers a convenient leadership opportunity for Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists throughout Hamburg, Orchard Park, West Seneca, Blasdell, Lackawanna, Eden, Evans, Angola, Derby, East Aurora and surrounding Southtowns communities.
