We listen. We respond. We care.

Leadership Development

We help team members develop leadership skills to advance their careers. From our Foundations New Leader Training program to Arbor Leads, a 6-week leader development program, team members use Franklin Covey principles and materials to learn, share, and practice some of the most essential leadership skills. Leadership team members also have access to the full Franklin Covey database.

Reaching Your Professional Goals

Arbor Grows is an innovative senior living apprenticeship program funded by a Department of Labor grant. In our program, specially trained Resident Care mentors work with care team members to help them build technical and soft skills. Arbor Grows delivers opportunities for more responsibility and higher wages, incentives, certifications, and more — for both mentors and frontline team members.

Tuition Reimbursement

If you are ready to further your education, enhance your skills, or maintain certifications, we provide support with tuition reimbursement. Active full-time team members who complete courses in an accredited degree program or job-related certification program can be reimbursed for up to $3,000 per year, and active part-time team members can receive up to $2,000.

Assistance for Student Loan Repayment

Student loan repayment assistance is another program that is available to both full-time and part-time team members who have completed a credential at an accredited college, university, or technical school. Full-time team members and part-time team members are eligible for up to $100 per month.

Referral Program

Once you join the Arbor family, you are eligible to receive referral bonuses. If you recommend a department head candidate who is hired and remains in their position for 90 days, you will receive a $1,000 bonus — and the bonus is $3,000 for referring executive directors, resident care directors, memory care directors, and sales directors.

Professional Growth FAQ

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.
