That was a quick hire. Probably because a recently retired Event Coordinator moved into the complex a few months ago and, when our Activity Director left a few weeks ago, this resident went to Corporate and applied for the job. Inasmuch as she is more than qualified and has our support, I guess Corporate felt they’d better rush and put someone of their own choosing in the position.
No matter, our resident will get another opportunity to apply soon, as Activity Directors don’t last long around here. This is like the third, maybe the fourth, since this management group took over. The ladies usually burn out in under a year, and not because of us -- the residents. Unless they’ve been pulling our legs, which I don’t think they were, the feedback we’ve been given during their tenure was they liked us, found us to be the nicest, most appreciative, most helpful out of all the other senior communities they rotate through, but that “there are just so many restrictions” as to what they can and cannot do for seniors at this location. “Restrictions” that do not exist at the other communities.
I recall blogging that the clock was ticking when the last Activity Director came on board end of August. So now, we’re resetting the clock on this latest hire.
Tick tick tick.
There’s a Meet and Greet scheduled for her this coming Thursday. Residents appear to be so depressed, demoralized, so into not caring, that I’ll be surprised if more than a handful shows up. I don’t want to witness her first introduction being such a dismal affair, so I’ll just walk by, peek in and, if it looks empty, I’ll keep walking.
