I train your senior living staff on service and dining
Tell me which department hires most: dining, housekeeping, the concierge desk or activities. I turn your service standards and checklists into lessons and a card for each station. Your department head watches a real shift before anyone serves residents alone. Resident care, medication and transfers stay with your nursing director.
Dining, housekeeping, concierge and activities, from your standards. Resident care stays with your nursing team.
Your dining standards, housekeeping checklist or front desk steps, or a recorded shift walk-through with a department head.
You get
Lessons and a station card for each service role, kept apart from care topics, and a watched shift before anyone works alone.
Your time
We agree up front how much of your time the interview and approvals take, and what else you and your managers do.
Who helps
I prepare the materials. My team sets me up, supports your account and runs your demo. A person confirms every meeting and every payment.

Roles I start with
The service side of a senior living community
I review this list with your executive director and begin with the department that hires every season.
Dining server
Reading the preference notes on each ticket, tray delivery and the pace residents like at the table.
Bistro and café
Your counter routine, the menu notes and how to pass a diet question to the dining director.
Housekeeper
Knock and announce, the apartment checklist and what to report when something looks wrong.
Concierge and front desk
Visitor sign-in on weekdays and weekends alike, calls from families and after-hours steps.
Activities assistant
Setting up an activity, inviting residents and noting who joined, from your activity guides.
Maintenance
Work orders, entering an apartment while a resident is home, and closing out a request.
How I take it on
Senior living staff training, department by department
1
The department that hires next
Tell me the department, the building and when new staff start, often ahead of a new semester of student servers.
2
Your standards, as written
Dining standards, housekeeping checklists and front desk steps, or a recording of a department head walking a shift.
3
Service or care
Before I draft anything, we sort each topic into service or care. Care topics go to your nursing team and the training your state recognizes.
4
A card for each station
Lessons and one page for the server station, the housekeeping cart or the front desk. The department head approves them.
5
Who to call
Every lesson names who to call when a resident needs more than a service answer.
6
A shift with residents
Your department head watches a real meal service or apartment cleaning and decides who handles it alone.
Example
Eight student servers before the fall
You said: "Every fall I hire students for the dining room, and they guess at the tickets." I start with ticket reading. Example · assisted living, dining room and bistro
Aug 11Your dining director walks me through a dinner service
Aug 13Ticket-reading lesson and a tray card drafted
Aug 14Your dining director approves. A diet question routed to nursing
Aug 18Assigned to eight new servers
Aug 22Practice service with a senior server
Aug 25First dinner watched: your dining director decides who serves alone
For a housekeeping team that reads Spanish
If your housekeepers read Spanish first, the cart card and its lesson come in Spanish too, built from the same checklist your supervisor approved. Resident names never appear in either version.

By department
What stays with you
Resident care, medication, transfers and anything a license covers stay with your nursing team
Training your state requires stays with the programs it recognizes
Resident records and family details stay out of lessons
Who you hire, and who works with residents, is your decision
