Activity Aide - PRN

As an Activity Aide, you have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents every day. You’ll work alongside the Activity Director to create opportunities for connection, engagement, creativity, and joy—helping each resident participate in activities that reflect their individual interests, abilities, and needs.

From leading group activities and supporting community events to spending one-on-one time with a resident who may be unable to join a group, you’ll help ensure that every resident has opportunities to feel included, valued, and connected. You’ll also assist with Residents’ Council, special events, beauty and barber services, newsletters, and other programs that bring our community together.
