Parkwood Green House in Glendale, Wisconsin is a smaller assisted living and memory care community with just 12 licensed beds, offering a quiet and homey setting for seniors who need support. Folks will find both private and semi-private rooms here, most with their own half baths, all wheelchair accessible, and pets like cats and dogs are welcome in private units, though nobody can smoke inside. There's a 24/7 security system and concierge, plus emergency alert systems in place, so families can feel peace of mind about safety. The staff, including licensed CBRF caregivers, CNAs, a Registered Nurse, and administrators, provide around-the-clock care, keeping a strong six-to-one resident-to-staff ratio, so each person gets plenty of attention.
Residents at Parkwood Green House get help with things like showering, dressing, getting in and out of bed, incontinence, medication management including injections and blood sugar checks, and special care for Parkinson's and memory issues. Memory care includes secure areas to prevent wandering and special programs for those with dementia or Alzheimer's. The staff can manage diabetic needs, provide non-ambulatory care, diabetic care, and hospice services for those at the end of life, with an approach called aging in place, so seniors can stay even as their needs grow. Service plans are tailored for each resident through regular assessments.
The meals are made from scratch in-house by a chef, following menus from an experienced dietitian-easy to read, suited to each resident's needs, and available throughout the day, plus all-day snacks for those who like to graze. There are structured activities run by an activity coordinator, with movie nights, arts and crafts, gardening, walking paths, and daily events to keep folks busy and social. The place has indoor and outdoor common areas, a library, chapel, hair salon, massage therapy, and all the comforts to make each day pleasant. On-site beauty and barber services are included, so residents can look and feel their best.
For spiritual needs, there are onsite devotional services and complimentary transportation for those who wish to worship off-site. Seniors also have access to nurse and care staff for medication coordination, medical monitoring, and help from visiting doctors, podiatrists, and therapists when needed. Parkwood offers respite stays for short-term care and supports long-term residents with a range from more independent folks to those needing full support. They don't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The facility is licensed as a Community Based Residential Facility, sitting in a quiet residential neighborhood and is part of Parkwood Assisted Living, with two small communities-Mill House and Green House-offering the same level of care for those who want a calm, familiar place as they age. Transportation and parking are included, and the team helps with daily needs, including transfers for those with limited mobility. All staff use clear, simple steps, working together to promote each resident's well-being and keep the place feeling like home for everyone living there.
