You'll be instrumental in bringing this vision to life by planning and facilitating engaging activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional well being. One moment you might be encouraging someone to join an activity they love, the next you're offering comfort and reassurance to make them feel safe and cared for. You'll be part of a close knit team that works together to make our home feel warm and our residents comfortable and safe.
