Tyler, Texas
Position Type: Full-Time
Schedule: Full-Time | Rotating Weekends Required
Memory Care Programming Operates 7 Days Per Week
At Prestige Estates, we believe every person deserves to experience purpose, connection, laughter, and meaningful moments, regardless of age or diagnosis.
As a Memory Care Life Enrichment Coordinator, you'll help create those moments every single day.
One day you may be leading a beach party.
The next, you'll be helping a resident reconnect with a favorite song from childhood.
You might organize a carnival, paint with residents, plant flowers in the garden, bake cookies, host a talent show, or simply sit beside someone who needs a friend.
We are not simply looking for someone to lead activities.

Someone who is creative.
Someone who is organized.
Someone who is energetic.
Someone who believes that joy is one of the most powerful forms of care.
