Jodi Bornstein, MS, OTR/L, is an occupational therapist with Hebrew SeniorLife’s Therapy House Calls program. Jodi was born in Montreal, Canada. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy from McGill University in 1999 and her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Tufts University in 2004.
Jodi has enjoyed her first 25+ years as an occupational therapist in a variety of clinical settings such as acute care, acute inpatient neurological rehab, and skilled nursing facility (at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston). She has been working in Hebrew SeniorLife’s “outpatient at home” program with Therapy House Calls since 2013. Jodi loves working in this program, where the primary focus is helping residents identify what truly matters most to them as they work toward living their lives with meaning, purpose, and the utmost functional independence possible.
Jodi has been published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy and has been a guest faculty member at the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Institute of Health Professions for the last eight years. Jodi has also lived in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she volunteered in a pediatric clinic for a year, and in Helsinki, Finland.
Jodi loves to cook and is the author of Plant Forward: A Paving the Path to Wellness Cookbook. She is also a certified leader in the lifestyle medicine program PAVING the Path to Wellness, which she offers at various Hebrew SeniorLife locations. When not working, Jodi loves spending time with her husband Simon, her three kids — Zoe, Jonah, and Mia — and, of course, her pup Fozzie.
