Meet our Resident Assistants

Good Life Senior Residences is one option for seniors interested in our Intergenerational Housing program. Good Life Senior Residences is an affordable senior living community that provides enhanced services and an intergenerational living experience. 

Our Resident Assistants are a key part of H.O.M.E.'s community. Resident Assistants live in Good Life Senior Residents along side families and seniors. They are energetic and compassionate people who help senior residents out with day-to-day tasks such as laundry, and also build strong bonds through sharing social and creative activities.
