About myPlace Health

myPlace Health was founded in 2021 by mission-aligned healthcare leaders and organizations that are committed to drastically improving health outcomes, quality and experience for vulnerable older adults and frail seniors. We specialize in providing value-based, comprehensive care and coverage for older adults with significant needs so they can thrive in the homes they love and in the communities they cherish.

Our mission is simple: to enable older adults to live the independent lives they deserve. We pursue this mission through our myPlace PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model, which provides seamless primary care, integrated health plan coverage, personalized social engagement, and customized services delivered in the participant’s preferred place.

myPlace Health is building a mission-driven team that shares our passion for redefining the way older adults experience care as they “age in place” in the community. This is a unique opportunity to take on one of our country’s most challenging healthcare problems and join a fast-growing, dynamic team as we prepare to scale our mission to serve more markets.

About This Role

At myPlace, we believe that nourishing meals and compassionate service are essential parts of caring for our participants. As the Food Services Supervisor, you’ll lead and support our food services team to ensure safe, nutritious, and culturally sensitive meals are prepared and served daily to older adults enrolled in our PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program.

This isn’t just about following recipes — it’s about creating an environment where every meal supports health, dignity, and comfort. You’ll work in a setting that feels more like home than a facility, surrounded by a team that shares your passion for service and your respect for the people we care for.

If you have a love for food, a gift for leadership, and a heart for making a difference, this is the role where all three come together.
