<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Parkland, we are reinventing the idea of retirement and creating a new era of premium, independent, living for people seeking to engage with life, not retire from it. We understand that making the move to retirement in a big decision and we are here to make the move as stress-free as possible by answering any questions you may have or dispelling any myths you may have heard about retirement living. Here are some common myths and misconceptions about retirement living that we have received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #1: It\u2019s a nursing home<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Parkland is not a nursing home. Offering a full-continuum of lifestyle options, even as residents’ needs change, their style of living doesn’t have to at Parkland. Whether you’re looking for a premium apartment with access to services and amenities or in search of supportive care options, residents and their families can have peace of mind that additional services, friendly staff and professional care are always nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #2:<\/strong><\/strong> You will lose your independence<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The lifestyle offered at Parkland is intended to promote independence, no matter how much or how little support you need. That\u2019s because everything at Parkland is designed for your enjoyment and convenience. By offering flexibility and choice, you will have the necessary support to do the things you enjoy most independently, on your own time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How, when and where you spend your time is completely up to you. At Parkland, you are welcome to come and go as you like. Many Parkland residents continue to use their personal vehicles however, if you would prefer not to drive, Parkland includes shuttle services in many monthly rent packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #3: Your living space will be too small and the d\u00e9cor will be outdated.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Parkland off\u00aders a range of apartment options from studio to two-bedroom plus den. Speak with the Lifestyle Consultant at the Parkland community nearest you<\/a> for suite options, square footage and availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each Parkland was designed with residents in mind. Our in-house design team creates every Parkland community with a classic transitional approach, considering every detail from high quality millwork to premium suite finishes and senior-friendly design aspects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our suites have spacious layouts with ample windows that invite plenty of natural light inside. Extra-wide doorways and hallways have been thoughtfully considered and integrated, and every suite has an emergency call system, for your peace of mind and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #4: The food options are limited and bland<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Parkland prides itself on an exceptional dining experience<\/a>. Each Parkland community has an in-house executive chef that ensures menu choices are tailored to residents\u2019 dietary concerns and preferences. The menu changes each season and the kitchen staff love getting feedback from their residents on what dishes they would like to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If your friends or family are visiting, you can invite them down to the dining room for a meal. On special occasions, residents can reserve a private dining room space and our kitchen would love to cater it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition to having amazing restaurant-style dining in the community, if you enjoy baking and cooking, many suites come equipped with a full kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #5:<\/strong> The activities held on-site are boring <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While living at a Parkland retirement community you will be engaged in customized seniors\u2019 activities and programs designed to stimulate your mind, body and soul. Parkland is more than just your home, it\u2019s a community.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #6:<\/strong><\/strong> It\u2019s unaffordable<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Living at Parkland costs less than you think! No more grocery shopping, food preparation, outdoor maintenance costs, property taxes, membership fees or rising utility bills. One easy monthly bill takes care of all the little extras that add up quickly. When you add recurring services to your one monthly bill, taxes (harmonized sales tax) will not be charged. The price you see on that bill each month, is the price that you pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve created a tool that allows you to compare your current monthly cost of living to your one monthly bill at Parkland. See our Cost Calculator Tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Parkland, we know that pets are family too. Pets are welcome at select Parkland communities. Please speak with the Lifestyle Consultant for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #9:<\/strong><\/strong> You have to be an \u201colder senior\u201d who isn\u2019t living an active, healthy lifestyle<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While all our Parkland campuses are built and operated with retirement living in mind, there is no minimum age requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parkland offers a great deal of services and amenities that support an active lifestyle. You are invited to take part in any number of recreation activities that promote health and wellness as well as socialization. We want you to feel your best and being engaged and active is an important part of making that happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #9:<\/strong> If you need additional care as you age, you will have to move<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Parkland is designed to accommodate a continuum of lifestyle options<\/a> and is based around the concept of \u201caging in place\u201d. You can always have peace of mind knowing that if additional care is ever needed, it is always available.
