Activities are based on your loved one’s unique life experiences, and combined with therapeutic activities and exercises that preserve sensory skills, mobility and motor function.

Innovative therapies such as our award-winning Paro Seal program, which combines robotics and bio-feedback technologies to deliver the proven benefits of animal therapy, provide powerful experiences that will help keep your loved one engaged and fulfilled. Plus, they’ll be surrounded with ever-changing interactive vignettes designed to stir memories and interests.

Recently my mother had some medical issues and after being discharged from Rehab, I had her taken to Park West for Long Term Care. I interviewed them a few days before Rehab was to end. The staff was super engaged, kind, and you could just feel the "vibe" from the whole care team. Bailey and Patricia were just amazing putting my mind at ease to select Park West for moms final days care. The day mom arrived, the whole team was on top of things. They already had a care plan together, reviewed with me, then immediately started making moms last days the BEST and MOST COMFORTABLE they could. I got updates and reports on her, and it was the nicest place she could have been in for caring. The day mom passed, just a week in, I got the call and they were so supportive. They called the funeral home, had her stuff packed up for me, etc. Truly could not ask for a better team of care givers. I hope I never need their services again, but if I do, I will be happy to go to Legends Park West Plaza. Sincerely, Shawn Horseman

I have been fortunate enough to have 4 of my family members cared for at this community. The compassion and attention that is given by the care team is amazing. Currently our Uncle lives there and always comments about how he loves the food and how they take great care of him. Thank you to the Park West team
