Frequently Asked Questions

At Park Plaza, residents gain everything and lose nothing. Park Plaza is independent, rental living with onsite assistance, physical therapies and medical care as-needed. On-site health care agency staff can be hired on an as-needed basis, or for scheduled medical needs. They provide morning and night time assistance, physical, and occupational and speech therapy, podiatry, dental, and more.

Our residents can choose a few hours of assistance per day or week — or none at all. In addition, our residents stay active in current interests and discover so many more. We offer unlimited programming access 365 days a year: on-site cultural programs, engaging activities, interesting outings, and casual activities with friendly neighbors.

Park Plaza offers complimentary chauffeured transportation for medical visits, shopping, and activities within a three-mile radius, five-days a week. The drivers are our own staff, so there is no need for driving requests far in advance. Residents simply sign-up on-site.

Park Plaza is affordable luxury. 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.
