Orange County offers a different feel from neighboring Los Angeles: an affluent, well-insured, suburban region with a dense concentration of hospitals, rehab centers, and outpatient clinics packed into a smaller, easier-to-navigate area. For an occupational therapist, that combination is attractive. Strong private insurance coverage supports robust outpatient, pediatric, and hand-therapy demand, and a large retirement-age population keeps skilled-nursing and home-health caseloads full. Occupational therapists here earn above the national median of about $98,340 a year per BLS data, and We Care Staffing's current Orange County contracts pay up to $3,200 a week on a 40-hour schedule.
Compared with the sprawl of LA, Orange County is compact enough that a single contract's commute is usually manageable, and the pediatric and outpatient sectors in particular are deep, which suits therapists who want that kind of caseload. It is a strong pick if you like the amenities and beaches of Southern California with a calmer, more suburban rhythm than the big city.
Orange County is one of the more expensive parts of California, with the Irvine, Anaheim, and Santa Ana areas among the higher-cost cities in the state, and housing the main driver. As with any high-cost California market, your travel package is designed to handle this: tax-free housing and meal stipends offset local costs, so go over the housing piece with your recruiter before you commit, and you can make an Orange County contract net well while living somewhere genuinely pleasant.
As a travel occupational therapist with We Care Staffing in Orange County, you evaluate patients and build treatment plans that restore everyday function: helping people regain independence after injury, surgery, stroke, or illness, adapting tasks and environments, and recommending assistive equipment. Days run a predictable weekday schedule, roughly 9 AM to 5 PM, 40 hours a week, across the settings we staff: skilled nursing, home health, inpatient, and outpatient. Tell your recruiter your preferred setting and experience level.
We Care Staffing places occupational therapists across Orange County, from Anaheim and Santa Ana to Irvine and the coastal communities: skilled nursing facilities, home-health territories, inpatient rehab units, and outpatient, pediatric, and hand-therapy clinics.
