Our Perspective

How we see Parkland on the Glen

This building has it all for Toronto seniors. Condo ownership is available for those looking to invest. Rental suites offer exceptional retirement features, with some assistance available. This results in an integrated community, where seniors can decide to switch from condo ownership to care, in a community they're already familiar with. The best thing about the Parkland, though, is the unique combination of in-building luxuries and abundant conveniences just outside the door.

Still very new (founded in 2010), this seniors' tower combines rental units on floors 2 to 11, with user-owned condos higher up. This is situated very conveniently for your family in Mississauga and Brampton, while offering proximity to local shopping, churches and other services. Care available includes assistance with housekeeping and meals, with other health services (bathing, feeding, dressing, etc.) available for a fee; assisted living is found on the building's third floor.

Amenities inside include a year round swimming pool, fitness studio, pub, and movie theatre. You never really have to go anywhere else to have a good time. There are also chef-prepared meals in the dining room, with changing weekly menus. Residents have been known to move here just for the food.

Community’s Perspective

How Parkland on the Glen sees itself

Who are you as a community?

Parkland on the Glen is located next to historic Glenerin Inn on The Collegeway. Parkland on the Glen is surrounded by green space with Sawmill Creek Valley to the north and Sir John's Homestead to the south of our community. Rental units are located from floors 2 to 11 with a dedicated assisted floor located on the 3rd level. All rental units have functional kitchens. Condo rental units are available with full kitchens from floors 12 to 19.


What do you do differently or uniquely well?

Parkland on the Glen has been voted Reader's Choice for Best Retirement Residence in Mississauga for the past 12 years. Reasons why Parkland on the Glen is considered the best: Parkland on the Glen offers chauffeur service that takes residents to medical appointments, area shopping malls and church service on Sunday.; Parkland has a small footprint so our amenity space is easily accessible and the suites are close by the elevators.; Every unit has a balcony so that our residents can enjoy the views that surround Parkland on the Glen.; All utilities and communications are included in the base monthly rate.; Lastly, our residents, families and staff make Parkland on the Glen a great place to live.

What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?

We understand a move may be a bit overwhelming. Moreso, our residents understand the emotions attached with making a move. Our self-proclaimed 'Welcome Wagon Lady' greets all our residents and is available to answer any questions they may have from resident prespective. All residents are welcoming of a new resident as they were a new resident once themselves.
During the first week of arrival, our departmental managers meet with each new resident to assist them in familiarizing them with Parkland on the Glen from such things as how to work the thermostat to what types of dishes they may want to see on the menu. Afterall, Parkland is home.

How are residents supported if their needs change?

Parkland on the Glen offers a continuum of care with nursing services offered throughout the building or on our dedicated Assisted Living Floor. Our Assisted Living Floor does not support individuals with advanced dementia.
Parkland on the Glen has a dedicated Ontario Health atHome Case Manager who can assist new residents and current residents in receiving some care support. Parkland on the Glen also provides one-on-one and companionship care. There are some instances where residents have personal care givers and/or live-in support workers.
Every six months, our nursing team reaches out to residents to complete an assessment at which time residents share any updates in their health such as change in medications.

Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?

Individuals who have advanced cognitive decline would not be a good fit for Parkland on the Glen as our Assisted Living Floor is not geared towards dementia care. Parkland on the Glen do have some residents who have early stages and those who are progressing with a slow decline but they function normally in their day to day life here in the Parkland community.

What might residents find surprising about your community?

Residents are very involved in what happens at Parkland on the Glen. After all it is their home.
There is a Resident's Council, a Condo Board, a Harmony and Wellness Committee, a Food Committee, a Gardening Committee, a Book Club, a Glee Club and Parkland Players Theatre and Music Ensemble, just to name a few. In 2024, a Green Committee was formed.

How will your community change in the next five years?

Parkland on the Glen's activities and programs are always changing as the profile of our residents change. It is important to us that the residents have a say in what is offered in our social programming, our menu options, etc.
We are currently undergoing a cosmetic change to our residential floors as we update the colour palette of the walls and flooring.

What five facts about your community should people know?
