Proudly serve those who served.

Are you someone who enjoys talking with people, planning fun things to do, and making someone's day a little better?

The Wisconsin Veterans Home at Chippewa Falls is looking for a Life Enrichment Aide to help create meaningful, engaging, and enjoyable experiences for the Veterans and spouses who call our community home.

Schedule & Pay

  • Full-Time: Monday - Friday 8:00am - 4:30pm (every third weekend required)

  • Part-Time: Varies; 16 hours per week (every third weekend required)
    Starting at $17.00/hour

What Does a Life Enrichment Aide Do?

No two days in Activities look exactly the same.

One day you might help with bingo, trivia, music, or a social event. Another might include accompanying members on a community outing, helping with a holiday celebration, spending one-on-one time with a member, or setting up for a special event.

Activities aren't just about keeping people busy. You'll help our members stay connected to their interests, their community, and the things that are important to them.

What You'll Do

  • Lead and assist with group activities, games, socials, and special events

  • Spend one-on-one time with members based on their interests and needs

  • Help plan, prepare, set up, and clean-up activities

  • Encourage and assist members with participation

  • Accompany members on community outings and facility events

  • Assist members with transportation to and from activities

  • Help decorate and prepare the facility for holidays and special events

  • Document member participation as required

  • Communicate member interests, preferences, and needs with the Activities team

  • Bring creativity, patience, and a positive attitude to the work you do

What We're Looking For

You don't necessarily need healthcare experience to be great at this job.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Friendly and comfortable starting conversations

  • Creative and willing to try new things

  • Patient and comfortable working with older adults

  • Dependable and able to work independently and as part of a team

  • Comfortable leading both small and larger group activities

  • Flexible when plans change

Experience with activities, recreation, senior living, customer service, education, childcare, or healthcare is helpful, but not required.

Why Join Our Team?

  • A job where you can be creative and have variety in your day

  • The opportunity to build meaningful relationships with our members

  • Work that directly contributes to members' quality of life

  • Employee-only health insurance available for as low as $0/pay period [if eligible]

  • Paid time off and paid disability leave

  • 401(k) with employer match

  • Tuition reimbursement

  • Same day pay option

  • Employee referral bonuses up to $2,000

If you're outgoing, creative, and enjoy making connections with others, we'd love to meet you.
