Depending on where a resident chooses to live, there are slight variations to the admissions process, which is why it is always best to contact our team to discuss your situation and questions. Specifically in Ontario, Parkland is a member of the Ontario Retirement Communities Association (ORCA) and licensed through the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority (RHRA), requiring all new residents to complete a physician’s assessment and in-house health assessment prior to arrival. In Nova Scotia, an assessment by a family doctor or attending physician is encouraged, though families can work directly with our licensed clinical team members to determine if Enriched Care is a fit with the resident’s needs.
