Activity Director

Pomeroy Living
Lapeer, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 10/13/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/11/2026
Pomeroy Living | Luxury Senior Living

At Pomeroy Living, we believe a great activity program is not measured by how full the calendar looks. It is measured by whether residents are participating, connecting with others, trying new things, and genuinely enjoying where they live.

We are looking for a creative, energetic Activity Director who knows how to make that happen.

This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who understands that our residents have different interests, abilities, backgrounds, and personalities. The same residents should not be the only ones attending activities every day. Our goal is to create enough variety and opportunity that every resident can find something that interests them and gives them a reason to participate.

What You Will Do

  • Lead, coach, and develop the activity team and volunteers.
  • Create a varied monthly activity calendar that includes social, recreational, educational, cultural, physical, spiritual, entertainment, and wellness programming.
  • Offer a mix of large group, small group, and individual activities based on resident interests and abilities.
  • Be visible and actively involved in the community. This is not a position that is managed from behind a desk.
  • Monitor participation and identify residents who are not regularly engaging in programming.
  • Get to know residents personally and develop creative ways to engage residents who may be reluctant to participate.
  • Regularly ask residents what they want to do and use their feedback to improve programming.
  • Plan outings, special events, celebrations, entertainment, and experiences that residents look forward to.
  • Build relationships with families, community organizations, entertainers, volunteers, and local partners.
  • Work closely with nursing, dining, leadership, and other departments to create a strong overall resident experience.
  • Maintain required documentation and ensure the activity program meets applicable regulatory requirements and Pomeroy Living standards.


What We Are Looking For

We want someone who brings ideas to the table, takes ownership of the program, and understands that resident engagement is an important part of quality of life.

The right candidate will be organized, creative, dependable, comfortable leading a team, and willing to jump in and participate.

Candidates should have experience developing and leading recreational or activity programming, preferably in senior living or healthcare.

CTRS, Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, or CAD, Certified Activity Director, certification is preferred. Candidates with strong senior living activity experience and other applicable qualifications are encouraged to apply.

What Pomeroy Living Offers

  • Paid Time Off beginning to accrue on your first day of orientation
  • Paid holidays

  • Company paid life insurance for full-time employees
  • Priority Health medical insurance

  • Career advancement opportunities


We Are Looking for More Than a Calendar

We want an Activity Director who can create energy in the community, build relationships with residents, lead a strong team, and continually ask one important question:

Are our residents having fun and enjoying where they live?

If that is how you think about senior living, we would like to meet you.
