At Park Plaza Senior Living, we believe in keeping both your mind and your body fit. Our residents stay active in current interests and discover new ones – and they tell us they never realized how much they had been missing the buzz of an engaged community. Unlimited access to our programming 365 days a year is included in monthly rent.
Year-round activities
From sunrise exercise classes to evening musical performances, the Park Plaza Senior Living activities calendar runs every day of the year. Residents can drop into as many, or as few, activities as they like. From rediscovering a lifelong passion to trying something new, you’ll find a welcoming community ready to share it with you.
