About MyPlace Health

myPlace Health was founded in 2021 by mission-aligned healthcare leaders and organizations that are committed to drastically improving health outcomes, quality and experience for vulnerable older adults and frail seniors. We specialize in providing value-based, comprehensive care and coverage for older adults with significant needs so they can thrive in the homes they love and in the communities they cherish.

Our mission is simple: to enable older adults to live the independent lives they deserve. We pursue this mission through our myPlace PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model, which provides seamless primary care, integrated health plan coverage, personalized social engagement, and customized services delivered in the participant’s preferred place.

myPlace Health is building a mission-driven team that shares our passion for redefining the way older adults experience care as they “age in place” in the community. This is a unique opportunity to take on one of our country’s most challenging healthcare problems and join a fast-growing, dynamic team as we prepare to scale our mission to serve more markets.

About This Role

If you love bringing smiles to people’s faces, finding creative ways to connect, and turning everyday moments into something special—this is the role for you!

As an Activities Assistant, you’ll help create a vibrant, joyful environment for older adults enrolled in our PACE program. From morning stretches and music circles to art projects and off-site adventures, you’ll support the daily activities that keep our participants engaged, inspired, and feeling part of a caring community.

You’ll work hand-in-hand with our Activities Coordinator and a dedicated interdisciplinary team to ensure every activity is safe, meaningful, and tailored to the unique needs of those we serve. Whether you’re helping someone get to the game room, prepping materials for a craft session, or simply sharing a warm conversation, your presence makes a difference.

This is a great fit for someone who’s reliable, upbeat, and flexible—with a big heart and a sense of fun. If you believe that laughter, creativity, and kindness belong in every day, we’d love to welcome you to our team!
