Living Options & Care Levels
One of the greatest strengths of Andrews of Parkhill is its ability to support residents through different stages of life, all within the same trusted community. For those who are largely self-sufficient and want to enjoy their retirement years with the added comfort of nearby support, Independent Living offers the freedom to set the pace of each day. Assisted Living, known here as Community Care, is designed for residents who appreciate having a little extra help with daily routines while still maintaining a meaningful sense of independence. When memory challenges such as dementia require more specialized attention and a carefully structured environment, Memory Care provides compassionate, focused support tailored to each resident’s needs.
