Ashley Oaks' vision was to create a retirement residence that caters to Croatians and European communities alike who share similar traditions and values. For many Europeans, food is not only a source of nourishment but also a way of preserving their culture and identity. At Ashley Oaks, we offer a menu that caters to the tastes and preferences of our residents, using fresh ingredients and authentic recipes.
We offer a variety of both indoor and outdoor amenities and activities that match your every mood - swimming, exercising, potting plants, or playing a friendly game of bocce in our beautiful courtyard. You can stay as active as you'd like or simply relax and socialize with new friends in our fireplace lounge or cafe bistro.

Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?
Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?
Ashley Oaks may not be the right fit for someone seeking memory care or a highly clinical care environment. Our focus is on connection, culture, and shared experiences, especially for those who appreciate European traditions and a strong sense of community. We’re ideally suited for individuals who enjoy social living, cultural familiarity, and being part of a warm, engaging home where relationships and daily interaction are an important part of life.
Individuals who have advanced cognitive decline would not be a good fit for Parkland on the Glen as our Assisted Living Floor is not geared towards dementia care. Parkland on the Glen do have some residents who have early stages and those who are progressing with a slow decline but they function normally in their day to day life here in the Parkland community.
