The PRN Assisted Living Activities Coordinator role at The Village is a vital part of this thriving community. This position operates on an as-needed basis, providing support primarily by covering staff absences, assisting during special events, and handling periods of increased activity demand, which requires flexibility and weekend availability. Reporting to the Assisted Living Activities Supervisor and operating under the direction of the Life Enrichment Manager, the PRN Activities Coordinator focuses on delivering engaging programs that enrich the lives of assisted living residents. The coordinator leads various life enrichment activities tailored to the unique needs and preferences of the residents to encourage participation and create meaningful social interactions. A key part of the role includes facilitating events, preparing necessary supplies, and assisting in setup and cleanup efforts. The coordinator also supports new resident orientation by helping newcomers become familiar with the community and their daily routines.

Exceptional customer service is essential, as this role involves frequent interaction with residents, families, guests, and other staff members. The coordinator must be attentive to resident concerns and preferences, offering individualized support with compassion and respect, especially when working with seniors who may have cognitive impairments such as dementia. Excellent computer skills, including proficiency in Windows, PowerPoint, Excel, and word processing, are crucial for documenting activities, tracking participation, and reporting feedback to supervisors. This position requires excellent interpersonal skills, a calm and encouraging demeanor, and the ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to enhance the resident experience. Physically, the role demands stamina to lift supplies up to 30 pounds and engage in event setup and breakdown as well as conducting activities that may involve walking or mild exercise, both indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions.

Working at The Village is more than a job; it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of older adults. The community fosters a supportive environment where staff can grow their careers while contributing to a positive living experience for residents.
