This role is ideal for someone who:

• Is naturally cheerful and friendly
• Has patience and compassion for seniors
• Maintains strong boundaries to keep the front desk running smoothly
• Pays close attention to details
• Follows through — every time
• Stays calm, organized, and efficient even when things get busy

You will balance warmth with productivity. Kindness with clarity. Hospitality with follow-through.

• Assist residents with scheduling services and coordinating requests
• Support resident activities and events in lobby areas
• Maintain and update resident directories and office documentation
• Handle emergency situations calmly and appropriately
• Support the team with a "whatever it takes" attitude

You will be trusted to keep things moving — without getting lost in long conversations or distractions. Our residents deserve your warmth, and our team depends on your follow-through.

Requirements
