This is more than simply keeping residents busy. We are looking for someone who understands that meaningful activities can bring purpose, joy, comfort, connection, and a sense of accomplishment to individuals living with dementia.

Our residents are individuals with unique personalities, interests, abilities, and life stories. The right person will take the time to get to know them and help create moments that make their days meaningful.

Responsibilities

• Assist with planning and leading engaging activities for residents living with dementia.
• Lead small-group, large-group, and one-on-one activities.
• Encourage resident participation without forcing or pressuring residents.
• Adapt activities to each resident’s abilities, interests, and needs.
• Provide activities that support socialization, movement, creativity, sensory stimulation, memory, and enjoyment.

• Work cooperatively with nursing, care partners, and other departments to provide our residents with the best possible day.
• Maintain a safe, positive, calm, and welcoming environment.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is:

• Compassionate and patient
• Creative and enthusiastic
• Dependable and self-motivated
• Comfortable interacting with individuals living with dementia
• Able to redirect rather than correct
• Willing to meet residents where they are and focus on their abilities rather than their limitations
• Positive and able to bring good energy into our residents’ home
• A team player who understands that resident care is everyone's responsibility

Previous experience in memory care, senior living, activities, caregiving, or working with individuals with dementia is preferred but not required. We are willing to train the right person who has the heart, patience, and desire to work with our residents.
