Park Plaza offers premier, independent living accommodations, plus an array of caregiving services on an as-needed basis. A fully-accredited, insured and bonded caregiver agency is located on-site at Park Plaza. Their staff can be hired on an as-needed basis, or for scheduled assistance such as morning and night time help. Residents may choose a few hours of assistance per day or week – or none at all. In addition, Park Plaza offers on-site physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy from a third party rehabilitation company. Medical doctors, dentists, podiatrists and other medical personnel can provide services to individual residents.
Park Plaza is ideal for couples with different physical abilities. Often, one spouse needs medical assistance while the other is more in need of a community of peers. We provide ample social interaction and independence for the partner who is interested, and additional care if the other partner needs it.
