Philosophy<\/h3>

Our approach to management is best articulated by one of our satisfied clients:<\/p>

\u201c . . . I have found in working with Parkside Management Services that their personnel are truly committed to the success of the endeavor. They have consistently performed in accordance with the promises and covenants of the relationship\u2026Parkside, above all, stresses integrity in management. They are a team player and not a dictatorial firm. I have found the people at Parkside to first and foremost be committed to the financial soundness of the project. Once that is achieved . . . working with the Boards to insure the\u00a0highest quality of life for the residents<\/em>.”<\/p>

Approach<\/h3>

Clearly, once a project is operational, a key component of its ultimate success is having sound management practices and experienced, caring personnel in place. The value of engaging such resources begins much earlier in the development process, however.<\/p>

\"\"Financial markets are more conservative due to recent facility failures and bank closures; lenders are increasingly sensitive to the health of senior living facility operating performance over time. Bond funds often require the supervision of a professional management company during the term of the bonds. Prospective and existing residents are taking a more detailed look at facility management and financial performance.<\/p>

These are just a few reasons why the services of an experienced, professional senior management firm like Parkside can be vital to a senior living project\u2019s success.<\/p>

Few management companies have the depth and breadth of experience and knowledge of seniors possessed by Parkside Management Services, LLC Parkside\u2019s management expertise goes beyond the requirements of conventional property management to include specialized knowledge of senior programming and experience in relating to non-profit sponsors. Key differences include:<\/p>

  • Specialized programming meets the unique needs of your community\u2019s residents. Parkside\u2019s experiences with active, independent residents, frailer Assisted Living residents as well as Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia patients, have enabled us to develop programming that maximizes each resident\u2019s independence.

Meal preparation processes, menu selection, and service options, from formal table service to buffet-style meals, are specially designed with your resources and physical plant in mind to optimize efficiency as well as resident satisfaction.<\/li>
  • Social services are coordinated to ensure residents have easy access to the resources they need. Networking with other community service providers can be developed to fill service gaps.<\/li>
  • Health care licensure and regulations are carefully monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance. Maintaining superior quality of care is the ultimate goal.<\/li>
  • Health care staffing levels are determined based on the level of care required by your residents as well as industry and regulatory requirements. Quality of care and recognition of the importance of preserving residents\u2019 dignity is stressed in on-going staff training.<\/li>
  • Coordination of resident transfers between levels of care is crucial as communities continue to age in place. Policies outlining criteria and procedures for transfers are developed. Through training and education, staff members become more aware of the impact on the residents and the importance of including residents and their families in the decision making process.<\/li><\/ul>
