Park Plaza is the premier, independent-living community for Jewish seniors. Our nonprofit mission is to provide senior residents with the modern, elegant accommodations, independence, community, and safety they deserve. Because we are operated by Northwest Home for Aged, a nonprofit 501c3 since 1943, our organization is blessed with a legacy of generous philanthropic giving. We are proud to be able to provide unmatched accommodations and services for our Jewish senior residents.
The Park Plaza Staff Members take pride in their work, and many of them have been here for over two decades. The staff at Park Plaza aims to provide an excellent experience and quality of life for each resident.
Park Plaza’s Board of Directors is a committed group of leaders whose guidance helps to steer the organization.

Why Park Plaza
The best of all worlds: Independence. Community. Modern Amenities. Safety.
Independence you need.
Live independently in your own apartment. Keep the schedule you wish. Take part in as many activities, meals, and outings as you’d like. Continue working or enjoy your well-earned retirement – all on your own terms. Prepare your own meals or allow us to cook and clean, while you enjoy dining with friends. Park Plaza is also ideal for couples with differing physical abilities and activity level/interests. Snowbirds are welcome, too.
Community you crave.
Residents who formerly lived alone enjoy being part of our vibrant, engaging community. Our residents enjoy living amongst a community of senior friends. They choose to participate in several activities a day including music classes, art appreciation classes, card games, exercise and more. All of these coveted amenities are included in rental fees. Free, monthly extended family events provide a welcoming place for relatives of all ages.
Modern Amenities within reach.
Park Plaza’s state of the art renovations are award-winning. You will feel like you are living in a grand hotel. Relax in our six-story atrium. Find joy viewing our 60-foot aviary, aflutter with birds. Catch up on your reading in our newly remodeled library, boasting a 400-gallon aquarium. Reconnect with friends in our modernized community room, complete with breathtaking views of our lush surroundings.
