The Wellness Coordinator is a key staff person, responsible for all aspects of resident services at the Leyland Community (43 apartments located in Upham's Corner in Dorchester). The position operates with a significant amount of autonomy as the only full-time resident services staff person on site. HSL provides enhanced housing with services to seniors living in affordable housing locations, and at partner housing locations, with the goal of improving quality of life and supporting independent living. At its core, enhanced housing with services is a proactive approach wherein resident services staff regularly and actively reach out to each individual resident to engage with them around their health and wellness, identify areas of need/risk and provide intensive, individualized support as needed and desired by the resident.
The Wellness Coordinator engages residents in wellness assessments and health education programs, connects residents to needed services, provides a wide variety of case management tasks, ensures that all interventions are documented and tracked and works to develop and strengthen partnerships with community provider organizations. In addition, they ensure that residents are connected to programs and services that are educational, recreational, cultural, social, and/or multigenerational in nature.
