They work in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, or specialized memory care units to ensure residents receive appropriate cognitive stimulation, social engagement, and personalized care.

How does a memory care program coordinator typically collaborate with nursing staff and families to support residents?

Regular communication with nurses helps to monitor changes in residents’ health and adjust activities accordingly.

This collaborative approach ensures holistic support and fosters a sense of trust and partnership among all parties involved.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a memory care program coordinator, and why are they important?

Familiarity with care planning software, electronic medical records, and regulatory compliance systems is typically required. Outstanding communication, patience, leadership, and problem-solving skills help you engage residents, support families, and lead staff effectively. These skills are essential for creating safe, enriching environments tailored to the unique needs of individuals with memory loss.

Activity Coordinator - Memory Care
Full-Time

Oakmont of Novato | Novato, CA
At Oakmont of Novato, we believe every day is an opportunity to create joy, purpose, connection, and belonging in the lives of our residents.
