Activities Coordinator in Fort Worth, Texas at The Emberly at Heritage Glenn

A senior living community in North Fort Worth offering Assisted Living and Memory Care.

We are growing, and we are looking for an Activities Assistant who brings warmth, energy, and creativity to every room they walk into.

The right person for this role loves older adults, has a naturally curious spirit, and understands that activities are not about filling the calendar. They are about building trust, preserving dignity, and creating the small moments that make a community feel like home.
