Where to Begin
How To Find Your Community
Making The Right Decision Starts Here
In life, no decision is trivial — especially when it comes to finding the right services and support you or a loved one needs from an Assisted Living and Memory Care community. And as this process is not a part of our everyday decision making, many can feel uninformed as they’re essentially learning a valuable life skill for the first time with little to no outside input. That’s why we at Parkside Assisted Living and Memory Care want to do our best to guide you through a process that at times can be difficult and hard to navigate. Being informed can be your greatest ally when making crucial decisions. Our goal is to help you make the best choice possible as you seek Assisted Living and Memory Care options that fit your needs. Here’s what you should consider as you’re seeking Assisted Living and Memory Care communities.
Level of Care
Take an earnest look at what level of services you require. We find it’s best to make a list that sets out your required support. Think about what you need now and in the future as those can be key to filter other significant points such as budget, location and your overall approach to daily life. Be objective and honest as it’s the first step in building your ideal care plan.
Budget
Determining a monthly budget is hard, let alone when you’re trying to equate it to quality care for a loved one. Calculate your current overall costs — i.e. typical homeowners costs, food, utilities, property taxes, entertainment, healthcare — to get a good idea of understanding the monthly living costs a community provides holistically.
From here, find options that fit your range while still meeting your level of care needs. Our community provides flexible living options to best meet your needs and provide peace of mind on your senior living experience.
Necessities
Senior assisted living communities are built for independent living, as much as they are for assisted living. Communities can offer ongoing social events, friendly neighbors to enjoy them with and expert care around the clock. To pinpoint what your must-haves are, create a wishlist that identifies the amenities you would prefer, such as continuing education courses, wellness programs or direct physician services.
Ask Questions
If this is your first time seeking Assisted Living and Memory Care, it can be challenging to ask questions when you’re unfamiliar with the terminology, standards or technology. At Parkside Assisted Living and Memory Care, we welcome you to ask us about our services during our walkthroughs or via any of our contact methods. We understand the emotional and financial toll making the right decision takes. Feel empowered to ask when you need clarification or more information when you need it.
Like all of our Ally Senior Living communities, we are the first Assisted Living and Memory Care communities to offer a holistic approach to senior services and care. Through encouraging local community input and engagement, providing opportunities for continued growth and learning, and offering our Concierge Medicine Program, Ally communities promise a well and balanced life easily measured by our Seven Dimensions of Wellness. Wherever you are on your senior living community journey, feel free to contact us for additional info.

7 Dimensions of Wellness
A Holistic Approach to Senior Care
Intergenerational
Our residents are able to interact with multiple generations of people to fulfill their desire for meaningful life engagements with others of all ages. According to a 2011 Daniel R. George study, groups that participated with intergenerational volunteers demonstrated significant decreases in stress.
Community Connections
We encourage residents to continue to serve others. This instills a sense of purpose and engages the local community in our programming. Our Board of Advisors contributes to our community connections. According to a 2011 Daniel R George study, groups that participated with intergenerational volunteers demonstrated significant decreases in stress.
Intellectual
This engages residents on a cognitive level. Our One Week University program engages residents in lectures from top professors and local resources. We believe that learning doesn’t end the day you reach retirement age; it’s a lifelong process. According to the 2019 Alzheimer’s Facts and Figures, studies suggest that remaining mentally active throughout life may support brain health and possibly reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Spiritual
Spiritual activities aid in the psychological and emotional well being of our residents. We provide times of meditation, song, and prayer in an atmosphere that is open to our residents' diverse spiritual traditions. According to a study by Elizabeth MacKinlay and Corinne Trevitt in the International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, spiritual reminiscence assists residents to find meaning in life in the present, and develop strategies to accept changes of later life, including losses of significant relationships.
Social
We provide opportunities for residents to engage in the specific recreational activities they enjoy, including dominoes, checkers, card games, art, and musical memories. According to the 2019 Altzheimer's Facts and Figures, studies suggest that remaining socially active throughout life may support brain health and possibly reduce the risk of Altzheimer's and other dementias.
Emotional
Emotional wellness implies having an optimistic approach to life and enjoying life despite the occasional disappointments and frustrations. We encourage residents to engage in programs and to be active.
Physical
Physical exercise is shown to slow physical deterioration while reducing the risk of falls. According to the 2019 Alzheimer’s Facts and Figures, brain health is affected by the health of the heart and blood vessels. Although it makes up just two percent of body weight, the brain consumes twenty percent of the body’s oxygen and energy supplies. Researchers have found that factors that protect the heart may also protect the brain and reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
