Our Perspective
How we see Parkland Ajax
Parkland Ajax offers seniors improvement on every level, creating an experience you won’t find elsewhere, especially living by yourself. Shannex locations across the GTA encourage seniors to create lives they love. Parkland Ajax is state-of-the-art senior living, rife with amenities that include a concierge service, a fitness studio, spa services, a hairdresser, in-house movie theatre, and lots of fun activities, from bocce, bingo, and shuffleboard, to arts and crafts. But Shannex goes much deeper than those things.
Across their locations, they have a knack for hiring excellent staff who are passionate about working with seniors and turning every day into an enjoyable experience. When you’re surrounded by enthusiastic staff and like-minded seniors, you’ll find that your everyday passion for life blossoms anew. People in Parkland communities talk about broadening and continuing personal growth into their 80’s, 90’s, and beyond.
This daily personal growth is encouraged by the excellent dining options here alongside health and wellness programs. Dining features daily culinary creations, prepared by an in-house chef and always made with fresh ingredients. They also keep the menu fresh weekly, while giving attention to personal preferences, allergies, and dietary restrictions. You can also learn new things like yoga and tai chi, take part in volunteer activities, and more. In other words, they focus on the whole person.
It's built from the ground up with attention to detail. Accessibility combines with elegance and luxury. Suites are spacious, naturally lit. Seniors’ daily experience is special, and newcomers quickly become comfortable.

The staff at Parkland are always offering enjoyable entertainment and activities for the residents, but this event was truly special. The vintage teacups, teapots, delicious sandwiches, and treats brought back treasured memories, as high tea was something that my family really enjoyed but rarely experienced. The live violin music was an extra bonus and added to the ambiance. It was an..."Lana Starchuck, visitor or friend

General Manager's Message
Lisa Benjamin
With a background in nursing and over 12 years of experience working in the sector, Parkland Ajax General Manager Lisa Benjamin was always passionate about helping others live their best life. “I like to help people – that’s why I wanted to become a nurse. When I started working in retirement, I was thinking, ‘I’ll be here for a minute or two’ and just fell in love with it. Whether it’s their stories or lovely families, it’s a privilege to be a part of their life every day,” said Lisa.
Since 1988, Parkland has been delivering unparalleled service excellence in beautifully designed, vibrant, and safe retirement communities and Lisa is prepared to ensure residents are well cared for, loved ones are informed and that it’s an enjoyable place to live, work and visit. “I’m looking forward to getting to know residents, their families and team members,” said Lisa “Together, we’ll all form Parkland Ajax. The building is there, but the people are what really make it special. I’m very excited to see it all come together.”
