While both assisted living and senior living provide a number of similar services including meals, housekeeping, transportation and a full calendar of social events, assisted living takes these a step further. Assisted living provides personal services, such as medication management and assistance with bathing, dressing and grooming. The type and frequency of these services, along with personal preferences, are determined by an assessment conducted by our Admissions Liaison. This assessment allows residents to receive services appropriate to their individual abilities and needs all while maintaining their maximum independence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any up-front or buy-in fees to live at Park Central?
No. Unlike many other retirement communities, your money will not be tied up in a long-term contract at Park Central. Our many services and amenities are provided for a monthly fee (under a 12-month lease for independent apartments). Upon moving into our retirement centers and assisted living centers, you’ll be asked to pay a deposit or move-in fee.
Can my pet move with me?
Yes! Park Central recognizes the companionship, love, gratitude and fun that pets provide. That’s why we welcome them as part of our family. Pets are welcome at The Continental on floors one through three, where a special pet run was constructed during our last renovation. Pets are also welcome on the first floor of Plemons Court.
What's Park Central's Smoking policy?
Park Central is a smoke-free campus.
What does "continuum of care" mean?
You might hear our staff mention “continuum of care” when talking about our campus. This highlights the flexibility of services and programs designed to meet the evolving health needs of our residents. Because we offer a broad spectrum of living options from independent living and assisted living to long-term care, residents can access most of the support they require without ever having to leave our campus. For example, many married couples may begin their journey in one of our independent living centers, like Park Place Towers or The Continental. As time goes on, if one spouse needs 24-hour nursing and long-term care, they can move to the Ware while their partner remains in their apartment. Unlike other communities where such a change might require relocating to a different facility far from loved ones and familiar surroundings, our campus allows couples to stay close. They continue to live together within the same community under the same roof, making transitions smoother and preserving valuable time together. This comprehensive approach to care is a defining feature of life at Park Central.
