Parkwood Highlands offers Independent Living for adults who want the freedom of a private apartment backed by practical medical support. The community can accommodate residents under 60 years old, but it does not provide specialized dementia care. Staff members undergo background checks, an activity director coordinates daily programs, and every apartment is equipped with a pull-cord system that alerts staff in an emergency. For residents who occasionally need a hand, caregivers are available to assist with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting on a self-care basis. Transfer help is available for those who use walkers or wheelchairs.

Beyond direct medical support, Parkwood Highlands maintains measures to promote everyday safety and independence. Team members monitor the emergency response system, coordinate health-oriented activities, and remain on site to respond when personal care assistance is requested. Because the community is designed for Independent Living, residents manage their own schedules yet have dependable help nearby when they need it.

Apartments are laid out to support autonomy. Many homes include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable hook-ups, and freedom to paint or decorate, though not every unit contains every feature. Residents who prefer a simpler floor plan can select models with fewer upgrades. Weekly laundry service is available for Independent Living residents, reducing routine chores and freeing up time for social or wellness activities.

Dining follows an Independent Living model as well. Residents can prepare meals in their own kitchenette or choose community-provided options, with snacks available throughout the day. The flexible approach lets residents keep their preferred eating schedule while ensuring quick access to refreshments.

On-site conveniences include resident parking, an exercise room, barber and beauty services, internet access, outdoor smoking areas, and full wheelchair accessibility. Scheduled transportation, along with proximity to public transit, simplifies travel for shopping and appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
