Moving In

A SAFE, HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE FOR SENIOR LIVING

Marguerite moved to Parkland on the Glen in March 2020. Despite moving in during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, she says that she is happy with her decision because she feels safe, social, supported and connected. “It was hard on everyone no matter where they were. But one thing I feel is gratitude for the way the staff took care of us,” says Marguerite.

For seniors living alone during the pandemic, everyday tasks, like buying groceries, staying in touch with friends and family or going to appointments, can be challenging. Many are also grappling with feelings of isolation and stress, especially since the aging population is more vulnerable to the virus.

Retirement living is a safe alternative for seniors who could benefit from the extra support, social connections and good company, especially with Public Health precautions in place today. If you, or your loved one is unsure about whether the time is right to move to Parkland, take these benefits into consideration.

SAFETY There is nothing more important to our Parkland team than the health, safety and wellness of every resident. Parkland has its own COVID-19 response team which includes an in-house infection prevention and control specialist and full clinical and occupational health and wellness teams who ensure Parkland has the most relevant and up-to-date information to keep community members safe. Residents and their families have peace-of-mind knowing that their community is a safe environment, supported by dedicated team members.

EXTRA SUPPORT Parkland makes everything easy and convenient. Dining, fitness and expert care are offered to residents living at Parkland. Having access to a wide range of services at their fingertips allows every resident to relax and enjoy life surrounded by a caring community.

HEALTHY FOOD WITH GOOD COMPANY Avoiding crowded grocery stores sometimes means it is harder to prepare healthy meals with fresh ingredients. Cooking for one also means seniors miss the joy of sharing a meal with friends. At Parkland, residents enjoy a restaurant like dining experience with delicious and nutritious meals created by in house executive chef s. Residents can also safely enjoy their meals in dining rooms with infection prevention and control protocols in place, providing a sense of belonging and community each day.

SOCIAL CONNECTIONS Parkland Lifestyle Residences prioritizes safe, social connectivity with common areas like dining rooms, game rooms and outdoor gathering spaces. Small on site classes and workshops with physical distancing protocols in place are a great way to connect like-minded individuals to share their passions and make new friends in a community setting versus in one’s own home. Parkland resident Marguerite encourages anyone thinking about making a move to try it out. “I would say come and see for yourself,” says Marguerite. “I think you’ll find that it is a very welcoming community.”

Parkland on the Glen in Mississauga and the newly opened Parkland on Eglinton West both have suites available, offering a continuum of lifestyle options to suit a variety of needs. With new Parkland locations coming to Ajax and Ancaster in 2023, residents will experience our premium accommodations, exclusive services and amenities that allow you to live your best life.
