Resident Services Coordinator

"The smiles and the joyful spirit that travel through this community is what draws me to enjoy coming to work everyday. The strong team here at this community makes you feel like "your in this together". Change is embraced here! If you desire growth or a better career opportunity this company does try to hire from within when appropriate unless there is a better fit or more qualified candidate. Most importantly and above all, the reason I stay is because our residents are taken care of with love and treated as individuals. This company values the individuality of the resident wanting the resident to "Live Life to its Fullest". Small concerns are addressed and solutions promptly found!"

Our residents are very special to all of us and we love making them happy. Employees are treated with respect and kindness. We have extensive amounts of training available to us and many opportunities for growth. My favorite time of the day is watching the change of shift and hearing laughter and seeing the hugs the staff exchange with each other."
