About the Role

The Clare Bridge Program Assistant plays a vital part in our dementia care community, assisting the Program Manager or Coordinator in leading and implementing a calendar of person-centered programs. The role is designed to meet the specific needs of residents, honoring their habits, historical routines, interests, and preferences. By engaging residents in meaningful and purposeful activities across the 7 domains of well-being—purposeful, intellectual, social, spiritual, emotional, and physical—you help enhance their quality of life in a structured, dementia-friendly environment. This includes facilitating sensory-focused small groups for those who cannot participate in large settings.

Why This Role Matters

In alignment with Brookdale’s Resident and Family Engagement philosophy, this position ensures that individual abilities are recognized and independence is encouraged. You will serve as a bridge between residents, families, and community professionals, communicating positively about the program's benefits and sharing personal successes. The role also involves supporting quality improvement initiatives and fostering a supportive atmosphere for both residents and associates.
