In simple terms, an activities co-ordinator is someone who schedules, plans, and helps implement various activities in senior living facilities. Many people focus on the “care” aspect of a senior community without considering the importance of extracurricular activities. In truth, it’s these activities that stimulate residents the most. Activities can be spiritual, active, or creative in nature and cater to physical, mental, social, and emotional development.

Organising activities that are tailored to the needs and abilities of individuals, as well as group activities that will bring individuals together. Booking external suppliers to provide entertainment. One to one interaction eg. Chatting, reading the newspaper, reminiscing.
