    Job Summary

    The Activities Coordinator is responsible for the development, implementation, and oversight of a therapeutic activities program that meets the physical, mental, and psychosocial needs of our resident Elders. This role requires a creative, high-energy individual who can pivot between the structured social environment of Assisted Living and the specialized, sensory-based needs of Memory Care.

    Special Events: Coordinate holiday parties, family nights, and themed "signature" events to foster community spirit.

    1. Resident Engagement & Assessment

    Life Stories: Conduct initial "Life Interest" interviews with new Elders and families to personalize their care plans.

    One-on-One Interaction: Provide individual room visits for Elders who are unable or unwilling to attend group sessions to prevent isolation.

    Meetings: Hold interactive Elder meetings monthly to obtain satisfaction within the Elder community

    Behavioral Support: Use activities as a non-pharmacological intervention to reduce "sundowning" or agitation in Memory Care Elders.

    1. Administrative & Leadership

    Documentation: Maintain accurate daily attendance records and participate in Elder Care Plan meetings to report on social progress.

    Volunteer Coordination: Coordinate with volunteers on a weekly basis to provide support with activities.

    Budgeting: Manage the monthly activities budget, ensuring supplies are stocked while remaining cost-effective.
