Parkside sits in a friendly neighborhood near parks, restaurants like Steak 'n Shake, a Starbucks, and Sinks Pharmacy, so folks have easy access to daily needs and outings, and it rests close to healthcare providers like DaVita Rolla Dialysis and Heartland Cardiology, which makes medical visits or appointments less stressful. This community's part of the Americare Senior Living family, and it's got caring staff, like Program Manager Kyla Manso, Director of Nursing Dionne Kelley, and administrator Samantha Duncil, who make sure everyone's feeling looked after and welcomed every day. Residents can choose independent living or get extra help with assisted living, and there are also memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home health, and hospice services all in one place, so people don't have to move if their health needs change, and families find that reassuring when thinking about long-term support.
Parkside offers both maintenance-free homes and rooms with different floor plans, so people can pick what feels right, and with The Clubhouse right at the center-offering restaurant-style dining and fitness classes-everyone's got a spot for meals, exercise, or just sitting with neighbors. They hold lots of activities and events, which make it easy for folks to make friends or join in when they feel like it, and there's a focus here on helping everyone keep their independence but get support when daily things like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine get tricky. For those dealing with memory loss, staff provide specialized memory care, tailored to each person's needs, along with a safe place to live. There's a 24-hour call system in every apartment for emergencies, plus round-the-clock help from compassionate care partners who treat residents with patience and respect. The whole place tries hard to feel warm and inclusive, making sure everyone belongs-whatever their faith, with a church like Ozark Highlands Christian Church close by, too.
Parkside offers therapy and rehabilitation on-site through Americare Therapy Solutions, including help after surgery or illness so recovery can happen close to home. For folks needing a break or extra support, there's adult daylight services and respite care for short stays, plus options for home health care for those who want care in their own space. The atmosphere stays lively but calm, and the main feeling is of a community where people connect and find joy every day, always with access to the care and flexibility they might need as life changes.
