Park Terrace

I have been a hospice nurse for a few years now, and during that time I have travelled to so many different senior living communities and care facilities that I couldn't possibly count them all. Park Terrace is definitely one of the better ones I've had the experience of working with. The nursing staff is caring, capable and a pleasure to coordinate care with. It really feels like we're on the same team, with the same goal-- and that goal is the best care and quality of life possible.The dementia and alzhemiers cottages are especially exceptional and unique. Most memory care units do not offer outside activities, due to safety and security concerns. Park Terrace has found a way to allow seniors in that unit to freely enjoy outside activities in a well maintained and supervised courtyard. Before I was a hospice nurse, I worked eight years at a living facility and it was always heartbreaking to tell patients in those units that we didn't have a space for them to safely enjoy outdoor activities. It seems like such a small thing, but the ability to go out and sit on a bench in the sun and watch the birds is something that we take for granted until you can't do it anymore.

My grandmother has lived at Park Terrace for 5 years. We were anxious about the move, it is a big adjustment from living independently and my grandmother was scared about not being able to enjoy life as freely as she had before. Flash forward, and the rocky adjustment that me and my family feared was never an issue. My whole family, my grandmother included, never realized how much we worried about her living alone until she didnt anymore. It was such a relief to know that she had friends and staff just moments away at all times, that we didnt have to worry about some disaster while she was alone in her house with no one to come help her.She was worried about compromising on her freedoms, like her own schedule and likes/dislikes, but instead of restrictions my grandmother has found nothing but happinessshe still can live independently, there arent people barking at her to follow their schedule. She jokes that she has a more active social life than I doand Ive seen pictures from the trips and I have to agree. I wish I got to go out to lunch and to the beach with my friends as often as she does!

Great place! Love the engagement by the staff with residents and all the different things they offer for residents! Rama at the front desk is amazing and always kind. She is very helpful and patient and will do everything she can to help anyone!
