Staff Profile: Scott Taylor, Resident Assistant

Scott Taylor is an original member of RiverCourt Residences, working
now for 20 years and 4 months since December of 2001. Before Scott
started working at RiverCourt he was unemployed and happened upon
a newspaper showing the opening of RiverCourt Residences. He
applied for the job and originally was told that he was overqualified
for the original position. At the time Scott had a license in social work
and had done a lot of health care work as well. Scott had attended two
different colleges; he first went to Lowell Technical from 1972 to
1974 and then he went to Barrington College from 1977 to 1979
receiving a bachelor’s degree in psychology and biblical studies.
RiverCourt Residences agreed to hire him, and the rest is 20 plus years
of history.

There are many memories that Scott mentioned, but the one’s that made him smile the most were the ones where he mentioned how closely he worked with residents that lived to be over 100, the cookouts that the staff would attend for certain milestones, and anytime that he could make a resident smile. He also mentioned that working with residents that lived over 100 were always highlights of his career. Scott mentioned many reasons as to why his years at RiverCourt have been rewarding, including when families come up to him and thank him and everyone else for the wonderful job that they do. He also mentioned that when good things happen to the residents, it always puts a smile on his face.

Scott loves this job because of the variety of activities and interactions he’s had with residents and their families, including the many outings he’s been part of. His hobbies include his love of travel, skiing, and swimming. Everyone at RiverCourt Residences is lucky to have him with his hard work and dedication, as well as his love for the Residents. Congratulations on 20+ years Scott!
