About The Position

Roland Park Place (RPP) is the only full-service, accredited nonprofit continuing care retirement community in Charm City and a leader in aging services for older adults and their families.

As a therapeutic reaction assistant, you will participate in resident activities in our residential care and long-term care neighborhoods. Duties include: designing/planning/facilitating structured (and/or impromptu) programs for residents, maintaining proper activity documentation, transporting residents to activities, maintaining/developing innovative/appropriate therapeutic recreation programming, maintaining/implementing activity schedules, and other duties as assigned.
