Parkside Assisted Living & Memory Care in Port Charlotte, FL offers two levels of residency: assisted living for adults who want help with day-to-day tasks and a secure memory care program for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The community is equipped to serve residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit behavioral challenges, stay awake through the night, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes with either oral medication or insulin injections. Staff members are trained to recognize and address the needs of residents who have advanced dementia, so families do not have to move a loved one as conditions progress.

Clinical oversight is strengthened by a registered or licensed practical nurse on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers remain awake on night shifts, answer pull-cord calls that alert staff or dial 911, and monitor alarmed doors. The care team provides full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and it can manage transfers that range from standby help all the way to two-person support for wheelchair users. On-site medical visits cover podiatry, and a therapy room is available for scheduled rehabilitation services.

Residency options include suites that may feature a private bathroom, a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry; availability varies, so prospective residents should confirm which features are included in a specific apartment. The building is wheelchair accessible throughout, and most apartments are wired for emergency response.

Meals are prepared by the culinary staff and are offered as set menus or cooked to order, with snacks available throughout the day. Diet accommodations include mechanical-chopped or puréed foods and thickened liquids. A private dining room can be reserved so families can share a meal in a quieter setting.

Residents have access to parking, outdoor smoking areas, and communal gardens, along with an exercise room, wellness center, barber and beauty shop, library, internet access, special-interest clubs, and on-site religious services. Concierge services help coordinate medical appointments or social outings, and scheduled transportation—including a town car—takes residents to nearby destinations. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
