Activity Coordinator

SteppingStone Adult Day Health is San Francisco's largest provider of adult day health care. Licensed by the State Department of Public Health and certified as a Medi-Cal provider with the California Department of Aging, the organization has worked tirelessly since 1983 to help seniors and disabled adults thrive and overcome the obstacles to independent living by providing a cost-effective, stimulating, and comprehensive set of health and social services. SteppingStone also operates three supplementary programs under the umbrella of adult day health care – Enhanced Care Coordination that focuses on community living and an aging-in-place approach, the LGBTQ+ Community Services program and the Alzheimer’s Day Care Resource Center.

The Enhanced Care Management (ECM) Project at SteppingStone is a program designed to provide comprehensive care coordination and management services to individuals with complex medical and behavioral health needs. The program is aimed at improving the health outcomes and quality of life for participants, many of whom are elderly or disabled and require multiple services and treatments. The program is funded through the California Department of Health Care Services and operates under the state's Medi-Cal managed care program. ECM has been successful in improving health outcomes and reducing hospitalizations for participants, while also providing much-needed support and resources to caregivers and families.

SteppingStone seeks a full-time Activity Coordinator whose values align with our mission to help older adults and adults with disabilities maintain their health so they can remain in their homes with their families and stay connected to their communities. We offer a fair compensation package, with benefits for employees working 20 or more regular hours per week, including paid holidays! We value employee health and well-being and believe in the benefits of a work-life balance. Our programs operate Monday through Friday from 8 to 5pm, with weekends off and little or no need for overtime.

We also understand the importance of professional development and provide on-site training. Our excellent work allows our participants to age-in-place with their families and stay connected to their communities rather than having to be institutionalized.
