Resident Services Director
The Resident Services Director (RSD) manages the Service Coordinators (SC) at all Fellowship Square properties and builds strong relationships with building property management. The RSD spends half of their time at their main property working with the property management to promote an environment of community and trust with the residents. The RSD provides guidance and support to all SCs and ensures that a consistent model of service is implemented throughout each Fellowship Square property, and ensures that all SCs are adhering to the state and federal agency reporting requirements. The RSD is responsible for the continued oversight, leadership and enhancement of all SC-related responsibilities.
Service Coordinators
The Keys to Healthy Aging
At each Fellowship House, we have an onsite service coordinator who works with residents to navigate Medicare, Medicaid, and other benefits to which residents are entitled. The Service Coordinator (SC) serves as a linchpin between community resources and residents. The SC’s job is to help motivate residents to maintain healthy, active lifestyles, to empower them to become more self-sufficient, and to maintain control of the decisions that affect them. The Service Coordinator is an integral part of the Fellowship Square team and not only works closely with the residents but gets to know the family members as well, keeping them informed and engaged in their loved ones’ care.
