Maya has a diverse background in elder care, with experience in nursing homes, adult day care centers, and community health organizations. She is passionate about promoting wellness, independence, and quality of life for elderly individuals.
Maya is a certified recreational therapist (CRT) with additional training in dementia care and therapeutic activities. She specializes in developing creative and engaging programs that promote physical, cognitive, and social well-being.
As an elderly care community worker, Maya plans and facilitates recreational activities, exercise classes, and social outings for residents. She conducts assessments to identify individual interests and abilities and collaborates with staff to create personalized care plans that enhance quality of life.
Maya earned her Bachelor's degree in Recreational Therapy from California State University, Long Beach, and completed specialized training in dementia care at the Alzheimer's Association.
Engaging in meaningful activities is essential to maintaining a sense of purpose and joy in life, especially as we age. My goal as a community worker is to create opportunities for seniors to stay active, connected, and fulfilled, one smile at a time.
