As your parents age, you always want the very best for them. Your top priority is ensuring that your loved one is safe, well-cared for and happy – and at Parkland, it’s ours too.
Brenda knew Parkland was the place for her mom, Barbara, the second they stepped into the building. “When we left the building, I said to my mom, this is a no-brainer. You have to move here,” says Brenda. The next day, her mother called to say she was going to move in. “She said, ‘let’s go – I’ll take it!’” says Brenda with a smile. Less than a month later, her mom moved in. “I love visiting my mom at Parkland. She can relax and enjoy us, and we can relax and enjoy her.”
When family isn’t visiting, Barbara (pictured right) loves taking part in the on-site activities and socializing with her neighbours, turned friends. “She has a lot of friends here. It always amazes me. When I come in to visit her, she will introduce us to everybody and knows everybody by name,” says Brenda.
At Parkland, there is always something going on and the team members are dedicated to ensuring residents are living their best life, all while providing peace of mind for their loved ones. “My mom moving to Parkland has really helped me and my siblings and I feel a sense of relief, a sense of happiness and contentment knowing her quality of life has been maintained if not enhanced.”
