Parkside Tamarac is a retirement community that offers a range of services for older adults, including assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing care, and continuing care. The community focuses on comfort and safety, with secure, structured neighborhoods for different stages of memory loss and a layout that lets people move around freely without feeling lost or confused. The facility has 72 suites, mostly private rooms with private bathrooms, and offers both studio and semi-private accommodations, with amenities like cable TV, Wi-Fi, individual climate control, closets, and dining areas in each unit, plus washers and dryers. Residents can expect clean spaces, as staff handles housekeeping and laundry for clothes and linens.
The care model includes help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, and support with meals, personal care, and hygiene, along with specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. Trained dementia care specialists and other staff lead all-inclusive care that focuses on dignity, respect, and preserving independence-with the Parkside Standard making sure each resident gets person-centered attention. Staff are available around the clock, and the team includes nurses part-time, wellness staff, and people trained in memory care, medications, fitness, nutrition, and more.
The therapeutic garden, calming color palettes, and simple layouts bring peace of mind, and the community supports emotional and social health through activities such as music, gardening, yoga, games, arts and crafts, spiritual gatherings, and technology-based programs. Residents get meals made by chefs and meal planners, with the dining program offering options like diabetic, vegetarian, and kosher, served in a communal dining room or through flexible meal plans, and private or outdoor dining if desired. Amenities include a beauty and barber shop, garden areas, a restaurant on-site, lounges, entertainment and performance venues, computer and learning rooms, and laundry facilities. There's a security gate and controlled access to keep everyone safe, along with visitor parking and wheelchair accessible transportation for outings in the Tamarac area, which is near local attractions.
Special programs at Parkside Tamarac cover holistic wellness, physical and occupational therapy, companion care, escorted assistance, and even pet or animal therapy, along with support for specialty care like diabetes, cardiac health, and chronic disease management. The community keeps up-to-date on training with innovative therapy, fall prevention, medications, and regular wellness checks. Residents or their families can choose payment options from private pay, insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or long-term care, with guidance available if needed.
The open community design means staff can monitor and support residents without being intrusive, which helps catch changes in health early and respond quickly. The memory care program, called Dementia with Dignity, aims to help people keep their sense of self and stay involved through meaningful activities, routines, and therapies. Families are welcome to tour the community to see the daily life, dining, and activity spaces.
