Parkside at Glenwood offers two primary levels of support—Assisted Living and secure Memory Care—so residents can receive just the right amount of help while remaining as independent as possible. The community is prepared to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and coordinates ongoing physician oversight for each resident’s plan of care. A structured mental-wellness program addresses mood, anxiety, and cognitive concerns, and families who need temporary placement can take advantage of respite or short-term stays. Access to an on-call doctor ensures medical issues are addressed promptly and allows residents to remain in familiar surroundings rather than make unnecessary trips off-site.
Safety and clinical resources extend well beyond routine care. A wander-management system is in place for residents who may be at risk of elopement. Licensed nurses are on site up to 16 hours each day to handle medication management, incontinence and ambulatory support, health assessments, and wellness checks. Therapy professionals—including occupational, physical, and podiatric specialists—visit regularly, and the wellness center provides space for ongoing rehabilitation. When needs change, hospice services can be introduced without relocation, helping residents and families maintain continuity of staff and environment.
Residences are designed to balance privacy with accessibility. Floor plans may feature kitchenettes, cable, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair-accessible showers, while some suites also offer resident parking or phone lines. Because layouts and features vary, prospective residents should confirm which accommodations meet their specific requirements. Cats are welcome in designated apartments, and several buildings open onto landscaped outdoor areas for fresh air and socializing.
Dining services provide three daily meals with options that include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and no-sugar-added selections, plus low-sodium choices for those with cardiac or renal concerns. Guests are invited to join meals, which can be especially helpful for family visits and care plan discussions. Not every dining venue offers the same menu or portion size, so residents with particular dietary needs should verify availability during their tour.
Daily life is supplemented by organized fitness classes, including yoga and chair yoga, as well as aquatic sessions in the community swimming pool. Residents can participate in clubs, reminiscence and sensory programs, intergenerational activities, live-music events, birthday celebrations, happy hours, and scheduled day trips. An activity center and jacuzzi provide additional options for social and therapeutic engagement, and staff arrange regular social outings to keep residents connected to the wider Erie community.
