We listen. We respond. We care.

Rewards Program 

Enriching the lives of the residents in our community is its own reward, but sometimes it’s nice to get that extra thank you. With our rewards program, team members earn points for attendance, when they reach key goals, or at their supervisor’s discretion. These points can be redeemed for gift cards from a variety of merchants.

Recognition Program 

We recognize team members who exemplify The Arbor Way; the leadership team honors these Arbor Stars and encourages them to continue performing at their best. Team members can also nominate coworkers who treat others as we would want to be treated, do what they say they’re going to do, and care about the Arbor family — and back it up with action.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging 

Every team member should feel valued, so we’ve made commitments to ourselves and each other in these areas, and we back them up with action. We are intentionally increasing the racial diversity of community and corporate leaders, reflecting on our progress, and publishing those progress reports for all to see.

Group Purchasing Power 

There’s power in numbers, and we have group purchasing power with nearly 50 communities over 11 states. Arbor team members have access to exclusive discounts through Navigator Group Purchasing and are able to save at HD Supply, EZCater, Office Depot, Orkin, Spring, and Verizon.

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.
