Arbors at Taunton·Taunton, Massachusetts
The Activity Assistant motivates and escorts residents to participate in various social, artistic, and physical programs. They provide 1:1 engagement for residents and drive the community van for excursions.
At Arbors/Ivy, we believe seniors deserve joy, connection, and purpose — especially in their later years. We are family-centered, integrity-driven, and committed to creating a vibrant community where residents feel known, valued, and excited about each day.
Sometimes “no” really means “I’m unsure.” Sometimes “I don’t want to go” really means “I’m nervous.”
Your job is not to push — but to warmly, respectfully coax. To gently encourage. To spark curiosity. To help residents feel safe enough to step into fun.
----------------------------------------
Activities don’t always go as planned. Residents may hesitate. Weather may shift. Schedules may change.
Your steady, positive presence is what keeps the energy moving forward.
----------------------------------------
You are not just filling seats. You are building confidence. You are helping someone try something new when they’re unsure. You are protecting joy in a season of life that deeply matters.

If you are flexible, cheerful, rule-following, compassionate — and ready to help seniors step into joy even when they’re hesitant — we would love to meet you.
