Job Description
Care That Feels Different. Because It Is.
At Touchmark, nursing is more than clinical excellence. It’s built on relationships, a more predictable rhythm, and the opportunity to shape how care is delivered—within a system designed to support you.
What if you had the time to build real relationships with the people you care for? What if your schedule felt more predictable—and more sustainable? What if your clinical judgment helped shape care, not just deliver it?
At Touchmark, that’s exactly what we’re working to create.
And if you’re already working in long-term care, you may be asking a more direct question: What actually makes this different?
What if you had the time to build real relationships with the people you care for? What if your schedule felt more predictable—and more sustainable? What if your clinical judgment helped shape care, not just deliver it?
At Touchmark, that’s exactly what we’re working to create.
And if you’re already working in long-term care, you may be asking a more direct question: What actually makes this different?
If you already know this field is the right fit, the difference comes down to how care is supported—and how you’re supported in delivering it.
At Touchmark, we’ve built systems and a culture that allow nurses to do their best work:
Thoughtful, responsive staffing
- We continuously measure and adjust staffing to align with resident needs—so care feels manageable, not overwhelming.
Stable occupancy and consistent operations–plus real growth opportunity
- Our communities are established and steady, creating a more predictable environment for both residents and team members.
- While much of the senior living industry has plateaued, Touchmark is actively growing—with plans to add new communities in new locations in the coming years. If you’re energized by building something, not just maintaining it, there’s a place for you here.
Quarterly bonus opportunities
- Your contributions are recognized in meaningful, tangible ways.
Nighttime nursing coverage for clinical support
- This is a meaningful differentiator. You’re not navigating complex clinical situations alone—there’s support when it matters most.
Tenured, stable leadership–at every level
- Across Touchmark, you’ll find experienced leaders who understand the work and create consistency you can rely on. Our nursing team members have tenured length of service at every level, from community nurses to nurse managers and leaders at our central office.
Proven operational systems and processes
- Join us and gain deep expertise in the systems and disciplines that make great care possible. Whether you’re building your career or leveling up your practice, there’s real learning and mastery to be found here.
These aren’t just benefits—they shape your day-to-day experience as a nurse.
You have the time and space to truly know the people you care for—their routines, preferences, and stories. Care becomes personal, not transactional.
Unlike hospital or emergency settings, your schedule allows for consistency and balance—so you can show up fully, both at work and at home.
You’re not just carrying out tasks—you’re helping design and guide care plans that reflect each resident’s unique needs.

What Most Job Listings Don’t Tell You
General overview for this role type — specific duties and requirements vary by employer.
Support roles in senior living — housekeeping, maintenance, activities, and social work — are far more resident-facing than similar positions in other industries. Housekeepers and maintenance staff interact with residents in their personal living spaces daily, which requires discretion, patience, and genuine respect for the people who live there. In Texas, even non-clinical staff must complete facility-specific training on topics like abuse prevention, infection control, and emergency procedures.
Activities coordinators and social workers play a direct role in resident well-being — isolation and depression are significant concerns in senior living, and programming that keeps residents socially engaged has measurable health outcomes. Maintenance staff in senior care need to understand life-safety systems (fire alarms, emergency generators, call systems) and are often the first responders for building emergencies. Background checks are required for all positions, and many facilities prefer candidates who have previous experience working with older adults.
What to Expect in This Role Day-to-Day
Based on typical senior living facilities in the DFW area.
For housekeeping roles, the day follows a room-by-room schedule — cleaning resident rooms, sanitizing common areas, managing laundry, and responding to spill or accident cleanups as they happen. Infection control protocols are more rigorous than in hotels or commercial cleaning, especially during flu season or respiratory illness outbreaks.
Maintenance staff handle a daily work order queue — everything from changing light bulbs and fixing call buttons to HVAC maintenance and plumbing repairs. Life-safety equipment checks (fire extinguishers, exit lighting, generator testing) happen on set schedules. Activities professionals plan and lead group programming — exercise classes, crafts, music sessions, outings — and also provide one-on-one engagement for residents who cannot participate in group settings. Social workers manage care conferences, discharge planning, family mediation, and community resource referrals. Across all these roles, the common thread is that you become a familiar, trusted presence in residents' daily lives.
