NOTE: This PRN role is a 2-3 day a week position for coverage.
This isn't a desk job. You'll be right in the middle of the action, building real relationships and creating moments that residents and their families will never forget. Day to day, that looks like designing and leading activities rooted in each resident's personal history and interests, helping produce the monthly community newsletter, and coordinating seasonal events and gatherings that bring the whole community together. You'll welcome new residents through activity assessments, help grow the community's volunteer program, and work closely with a team that genuinely cares about each other and the people they serve.
You're energetic, warm, and naturally at ease with people. You're patient and emotionally grounded, especially when things get hard, and you make people feel heard without having to try. You know how to juggle priorities without losing the personal touch that makes this work meaningful. Some knowledge of memory care and the disease processes that affect seniors is helpful, and a genuine eagerness to keep learning matters just as much. A high school diploma or equivalent is required, along with a valid driver's license. Some local travel and occasional weekend availability are part of the role.
Our community is managed by Surpass Senior Living, a trusted leader in senior care. We don't just talk about compassion, we build our entire operation around it. Families describe us as "warm, cozy, and homey," and our residents are at the center of every decision we make. You’ll join a team that shows up for each other as much as they show up for residents. If you're looking for a role with real purpose, this is it.
