The Parkvue Community sits along the Lake Erie waterfront in Northwest Ohio, and you see tall trees, a community pond, and walking trails all over the 26-acre campus, which makes the place feel calm and peaceful, and you often notice how there are cottages in The Cove at Parkvue-these are brand-new, two-bedroom, two-bath places with attached garages, open floor plans, and you can decorate them the way you like and bring your small pet too, which a lot of people appreciate. The main building has 87 one- and two-bedroom apartments for adults 55 and older, and you find all sorts of living options here, like independent living, assisted living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, skilled nursing, respite stays, and Fast Track Rehab for people coming out of surgery or illness.
The care team provides 24-hour nursing, night security, and help for personal needs, and the apartments have private and semi-private rooms, depending on what you want. The Parkvue Community is certified by the Ohio Department of Aging, so people who qualify can use their Medicaid Waiver benefits for assisted living here, and they offer flexible rate plans to help fit different budgets, plus they'll help you find out how to pay for everything. The campus includes a saltwater pool, spa, fitness center, and indoor aquatic center where you can swim laps, do water aerobics, or just float a little, and for those who like to be outside, there are gardens and walking paths all through the property. There are community rooms for crafts, a library, activities rooms, a chapel with a full-time chaplain, and a large dining room that serves restaurant-style, chef-prepared meals-sometimes there's even private, club-like dining if you want something special.
People join group outings, play bingo, watch movies, make crafts, and go to happy hours; there's a full calendar of social, spiritual, and cultural events, plus the LIVE IT program, which aims to help everybody connect, feel welcome, and stay safe, sometimes through organizing and downsizing help for moving in and sometimes with rides to nearby restaurants, shopping, metro parks, walking trails, golf courses, or boat trips to the islands. There are housekeeping and maintenance services, so you don't have to worry about chores, and there's ride assistance if you want to go somewhere off-campus.
The care at Parkvue covers many needs as people get older or if health changes-for example, you can start with independent living in a cottage, then move to assisted living if you need help, or to skilled nursing or memory care units if your needs get higher. There's help for caregivers too, with planning resources and helpful guides, and you find a real sense of community because staff and residents both seem to focus on respect and belonging, and the area stays active thanks to ongoing activities and visits from friends and family.
The Parkvue Community is a United Church Homes community, and there's space and programs for spiritual support if that's important to you. Altogether, Parkvue's focus on flexible care, beautiful surroundings along Lake Erie, a wide range of activities, and supportive staff gives residents and their families options and peace of mind during retirement years.
