We understand a move may be a bit overwhelming. Moreso, our residents understand the emotions attached with making a move. Our self-proclaimed 'Welcome Wagon Lady' greets all our residents and is available to answer any questions they may have from resident prespective. All residents are welcoming of a new resident as they were a new resident once themselves.
During the first week of arrival, our departmental managers meet with each new resident to assist them in familiarizing them with Parkland on the Glen from such things as how to work the thermostat to what types of dishes they may want to see on the menu. Afterall, Parkland is home.

Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?
Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?
Southbrook may not be the right fit for everyone, and we believe it’s important to be transparent so families can make the best decision for their loved one. We are not a large, luxury-style residence with amenities such as a swimming pool or grand chandeliers. Instead, Southbrook is best suited for individuals who value warmth, familiarity, and a true sense of home over upscale features.
As we are not a Long-Term Care facility, there are limits to the level of care we can provide. We are unable to accommodate individuals who require Hoyer lifts or two-person transfers. While we do support residents with some cognitive impairment, we do not have a fully secured dementia unit.
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.
