Memory Care

We understand the stress that comes with caring for a family member or loved one with Alzheimer’s & dementia. At The Parkway, our staff trains with top dementia educators such as the Alzheimer’s Association to provide the highest quality care possible, giving you the relief you deserve and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your loved one is in good hands.

The cottage is structured to offer an engaging and supportive environment with comfort and ease of navigation in mind.

Moving to Parkway was a good decision! It was hard leaving my home after 63 years, but Parkway was a great choice for my senior years! I love the new friends I’ve made here and the wonderful staff!
