Caitlin Mattern

Lifestyle Enrichment Coordinator

Caitlin takes great pride in creating opportunities for residents to connect and form friendships within her community. Though she didn’t envision herself in this role initially, her background in in-home caregiving and her caring nature led her here. Besides her professional skills, Caitlin has a hidden talent – she’s teaching herself hoop dancing. When she’s not working, she cherishes spending time with her 3-year-old daughter, exploring playgrounds, museums, splash pads and the zoo. With friends, Caitlin enjoys snowboarding and attending rock concerts. If she could share one lesson from her residents, it would be to embrace new experiences and not fret over the small things.
