Memory Care Activity Caregiver - Creative, Engagement-Focused Role

Job Description

Job Description

This is not traditional home care.

This is a highly interactive, activity-based caregiver role for someone who loves engaging with seniors through conversation, movement, and meaningful connection.

Full Bloom Memory Care® is seeking a compassionate and dependable caregiver who is creative and able to develop personalized activities that match our client's interests, abilities, and emotional needs. Creativity and engagement are important in helping provide a positive and enriching experience. The ideal candidate is patient, attentive, and enjoys building meaningful connections.

Our caregivers support older adults living with dementia and memory loss through person-centered care that focuses on dignity, creativity, and daily purpose. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys brain-based activities, conversation, and engagement -not just routine caregiving tasks.

Position Highlights

This is a hands-on, relationship-centered role focused on:

• Senior center outings
• Walking and light movement
• Brain games and cognitive activities
• Creative engagement and companionship
• Working closely with our professional dementia care team
• Supporting structured, calm, connected days

Think: cognitive interventions delivered in a warm, human way.

Ideal Background

We welcome applicants from both traditional and non-traditional caregiving backgrounds. This role is especially well-suited for individuals who enjoy building relationships and engaging others through activities.

• Caregiving or memory care experience

• Autism or behavioral support
• Mental health services
• Activity coordination or recreation programs
• Early childhood education or daycare
• Human services or community outreach
• Improv, theater, or creative engagement

Applicants with backgrounds in education, behavioral health, recreation programs, or youth leadership often thrive in this role.

If you are warm, quick-thinking, emotionally steady, and engaging-this could be a perfect fit.

As a Memory Care Partner, you will:

• Provide companionship and emotional support
• Lead simple cognitive and brain-based activities
• Encourage movement, walking, and daily structure
• Accompany the client to senior center or community outings
• Assist with cueing and supportive care as needed
• Communicate closely with Full Bloom's care team for guidance and continuity
