Dignity
& Respect
We believe older adults should be treated with dignity and respect. At
Parkside, we work together to provide an appropriate mix of service,
independence, safety features and privacy. Our caring and nurturing staff
is carefully selected and trained to execute our beliefs in their daily
encounters with our residents.
Access to Health Care
Parkside understands the importance of health care in senior living
communities. Many Parkside communities are located nearby, or directly
within, a major health care campus. Parkside staff is always there
to help arrange doctor appointments as well as to coordinate transportation.
Our staff is trained to watch for subtle changes in our residents,
work with residents and their families as appropriate, and adjust
individual service plans as needed. Service & Safety Features
For our residents' convenience and peace of mind, Parkside communities
provide services including 24-hour staffing, dining options, building
and grounds maintenance, housekeeping, and linen service. Because
safety is always a concern, Parkside communities are equipped with
state-of-the-art emergency response systems, smoke detectors, sprinklers,
walk-in showers and safety bars. All design standards meet the guidelines
set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act. Fostering Community
Parkside prides itself on its activities programs that encourage residents
to interact with each other and their local community. A diverse calendar
of optional events is offered, and can include recreational, social,
educational and spiritual programs. All Parkside communities emphasize
wellness through good nutrition and a variety of fitness and strength
training programs. There are also regularly scheduled trips in the
community van to shopping, doctor's appointments and other errands.
Parkside communities also strive to be active members of their local
communities by providing a setting for local groups to meet as well
as supporting local community events. Pet Friendly
Residents are welcome to bring their pets to all Parkside communities.
Parkside recognizes that pets are an important part of many families,
and research has shown that pets can aid relaxation, lower blood pressure,
promote health and prolong life. |
