Activities Assistant

Activities Assistant — Perrysburg, OH

Bring energy, creativity, and heart to the lives of our residents! We're looking for a compassionate, people-focused Activities Assistant to join our long-term care community in Perrysburg, OH. If you love brightening someone's day, planning fun events, and building genuine relationships, this could be the perfect role for you.

Starting wage: $16/hour Every other weekend and some week days

Why You'll Love This Role

You'll be part of a team that believes activities aren't just something to check off a schedule — they're what make each day meaningful for our residents. You'll plan outings, lead group games, help residents rediscover hobbies they love, and be a familiar, friendly face residents look forward to seeing.

What You'll Do

• Help plan and lead individual, small-group, and large-group activities that residents genuinely enjoy
• Build strong communication with residents, families, coworkers, and outside partners so everyone's needs are heard and met
• Contribute ideas to the monthly activity calendar and help track attendance
• Support quality improvement efforts alongside the Activities Director
• Take part in discharge planning and help create personalized activity care plans
• Coordinate transportation for resident outings, appointments, and discharges
• Build a variety of engaging options each month — outings, group events, and in-room activities for residents who are bed-bound or isolated
• Encourage residents to explore hobbies, crafts, and reading, and provide materials like Braille books or audiobooks as needed
• Help with assessment documentation and quarterly progress notes
• Keep the Activities Department clean, organized, and welcoming

What You'll Bring

• High school diploma or equivalent
• A year of experience in long-term care is a plus, but not required — we value the right attitude just as much as experience
• Strong communication skills and comfort reading and following procedures and instructions
• Basic math skills (fractions, percentages, ratios)
• Good problem-solving instincts and the ability to follow written, verbal, or scheduled instructions
• Physical stamina: this is an active role with lots of standing, walking, and occasional lifting up to 50 lbs
