Educator

SCs inform residents about service availability, how to apply for services and benefits, consumer rights, and other relevant issues. They inform staff members about the coordinator’s role and about issues related to aging. This information can help other staff members to better perform their job tasks, know how and when to use the coordinator, and promote acceptance of the coordinator. (Effective coordinators also learn from residents and other staff.)  In addition, coordinators handle the following responsibilities:

  • Organize programs on topics of interest to residents

  • Advocate for additional and/or more appropriate supportive services
  • Plead residents’ causes with property management and seek solutions with property management
