Activity Assistant

Join a Community That Feels Like Home

Emerald Trace is a not-for-profit, mission-driven senior living community known for compassionate care, strong values, and a genuine sense of belonging. Because we are independent and non-corporate, our focus stays where it belongs — on people, relationships, and quality of life.
