We’re having lots of fun this summer at Manors! Our Parkland Manor residents spent some time in the sun and got their hands dirty with an exciting gardening project. We have all kinds of amazing activities coming up that we can’t wait to share!
The weather is warm and the sun is shining! That means that it’s time for all kinds of Summer and outdoor fun at the Manors. From the new ice cream truck to beautiful outdoor spaces to exercise and relax, we’re ready for an exciting Summer!
Creativity doesn’t come to a standstill when you hit a certain age! In fact, it oftentimes does the exact opposite. The pursuit of art in older age is actually extremely beneficial to the mind and body. This “art” we talk about doesn’t have to be in the form of beautiful sculptures, oil paintings, or perfect haikus either. Creative action is as easy as doodling on a napkin or coloring in the lines!
Our amazing residents celebrated Mother’s Day on May 10, 2020. We hope their beautiful faces and spirits brighten your day! Check out the gallery for lots of happy faces.

Caring for an aging loved one can put physical, emotional, and financial strain on a caregiver. Physically assisting an adult can be very demanding on a caregiver’s own body. The emotional strain of caring for a loved one who may not have the mental capacity they once had can be incredibly draining. And if a caregiver has to take off work to help their loved one or place them in an appropriate facility to meet their needs, ensuring that aging relatives have the care they deserve can, unfortunately, put financial pressure on the caregiver as well. In an age where everyone is always hustling, making the time for self-care can seem daunting. Here are a few simple reminders for caregivers to help them live their best life in potentially trying circumstances.
