You will plan great events and activities, get others excited and involved, and motivate the care team to ensure activities are performed well. You will also ensure Resident Life Partners meet expectations, address shortcomings, follow up, and hold people accountable—being kind and compassionate while remaining confident, firm, and willing to take charge. Ultimately, you will bring fun and leadership, build relationships with residents, create memorable experiences, take ownership, and confidently uphold the standard: “This is the standard, and we're going to meet it.”
